Custom memory pieces
Layered Keepsake Frames
A photograph, a story, and the details you never want to forget—assembled into a dimensional framed artwork.
Each piece is designed around your photograph, occasion, and personal details, then built by hand from individually cut paper layers inside a display frame.
Starting at $119
Final pricing depends on the frame size, number of subjects, scene complexity, and requested details.
Not a generic photo print. Not an off-the-shelf frame. A dimensional keepsake designed around the memory itself.
Crafted with intention
More than a photograph in a frame
A layered keepsake frame brings together photography, illustration, typography, colour, and dimensional paper construction. Instead of simply displaying an image, it creates a small visual world around the memory.
Every composition is customized to the person, event, or story it is made to preserve.
Built layer by layer
Individually cut paper elements create depth, shadows, and a tactile sense of dimension.
Ready to display or gift
Each finished artwork is assembled inside a coordinating display frame.
Meaningful milestones
Made for the stories that deserve a place in the room
The same frame format can be adapted for new arrivals, anniversaries, remembrance pieces, and milestone gifts without feeling generic or template-driven.
Newborn and birth announcements
Birthdays
Weddings and anniversaries
Family milestones
Memorial keepsakes
Nursery and children’s-room artwork
Also suited to graduation keepsakes, achievement gifts, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and grandparent gifts.

More complex pieces, specialty materials, larger frames, or unusually busy periods may require additional time.
FAQ
Questions before you start
Can I choose the colours?
Yes. You can request a general colour direction, such as soft neutrals, nursery pastels, wedding colours, or a palette inspired by the photograph. Final paper selections depend on material availability and what works best with the composition.
Can you use more than one photograph?
The standard package is designed around one photograph. A second photograph may be possible in the Layered Story Frame, depending on the composition and frame size.
Can I include another language?
Yes. Names, dates, short phrases, and personal details can often be included in English, Persian, French, or another supplied language. Complex or highly stylized typography may require a custom quote.
Can I supply my own frame?
Possibly. The frame must have enough interior depth and must be approved before design begins. Because frame dimensions vary, customer-supplied frames may require a custom setup fee.
Is the frame included?
Yes. The standard package includes a white display frame. Other colours, materials, or sizes may be available by custom quote.
Can you match an exact design I found online?
The piece can be inspired by a theme, mood, or occasion, but Avenoir creates an original composition rather than reproducing another artist’s design exactly.
Will the printed colours match my screen?
Printed and paper colours may vary slightly from what appears on a screen. Material texture, lighting, and the dimensional layers also affect the finished appearance.
Do you ship?
Yes. Local pickup and shipping can both be arranged depending on the project. Final timing and any delivery details are confirmed before production.
