Frames keep picture content stable in dangerous timequakes that can turn family photos into post-apocalyptic polaroids and cat portraits into dinosaur mug shots. Time proof your memories with today’s Groupon: for $40, you get $125 toward custom framing at The Framers Edge, located in Arlington Heights.

Veterans of countless framing campaigns, the nimble-fingered staff at The Framers Edge carefully preserves cherished posters, prints, memorabilia, and more. Framers Edge’s matting and mounting services enhance the eye appeal of any flat object with custom framing starting at $80, and custom framed-art treatments starting at $125. Select a gilded border to inhibit the expansionist dreams of landscape paintings, or opt for a multiple-opening fabric mat to chronicle a series of photos or keepsakes. Serious collectible collectors can take advantage of conservation framing options to protect certificates, antiques, or particularly uproarious "Prince Valiant" comic strips. In addition to their skills with paper and canvas, the framers’ world-class shadowboxing abilities safeguard priceless sports jerseys (starting at $325) or used napkins from former secretaries of state.
