Tipped Frames
Adding a frame to a pocket page can add interest to an otherwise dull line up of photos but you can do more by tipping the frame.
I took this photo of my husband John so that he could see what he looked like with the glasses on (with his glasses on, if you see what I mean ...). Yes, of course he realised it would probably end up in a scrapbook page!
Since the photo was silly I emphasised it even more with a frame. It also served to detract from the way the photo had cut part of his head off. Kit is Natali Designs' Under My Umbrella. Note I tipped the frame in the opposite direction to the tipped card above it.

It was a dark misty day when I took these photos. The walking away to the sea is one of our "standard" shots but it was a bit dull so I emphasised it with a rope frame . I always try the frame straight at first but usually end up tipping it.
Lots of designer credits for this page: Journal cards from Ali Edwards' To The sea except the coffee on which is from Amber Shaw's Cream and Sugar. Sand overlay from Studio 68's Border Madness (Sandy Beach). Starfish from Lorilei Murphy's By The Way, rope frame and string of beads from Kimeric's On The Waterfront, other elements from Katie Pertiet's Curated Studio Mix No 9.

In this page the tipped frame happens to fit the shape of the rhino and emphasises the wacky nature of the photos:
The frame doesn't have to be the same size and shape as the photo. Here I used a square to frame the part of the photo with John and his beach hat and bag and used a realistic frame on the sepia picture of the beach to remind us of the view from the apartment we rented earlier in the year.
Not sure if a frame - straight or tipped - will work? Just give it a go!! These pages are digital but you can use frames in paper scrapping too.
