Default need help with making frames around cut off faces in photos.

I have some pictures from my sister. I am putting together an album right now for my nieces graduation. I have some faces that need to be cut out of pictures, and some heads that are choped off. The only way to cover these up are with frames. Unfortunetly I don't have the time or money to buy any frame stamps right now.

Does anyone have any suggestions for stamps from certain sets that might make a decent frame around the pictures.

These pictures are taken with some of my nieces friends and some family members. some people are half in the picture and half out.

I have done a few silouhettes but need some kind of frame around them to make them much better looking.

Need all the help I can get right now .Graduation is in 1 week.

I am at work so i can't give you any stamp sets names with frames but don't forget that you can use your square punch to make a frame too. Cut out your paper to the size you want your frame. Then take your sqaure punch and go around the inside edge making your frame the hickness that you want. (the inside just falls away.) I have made frames many times doing this. Good luck with the gift!

Lisa62.......You can do the technique that stacey carter mentions with any punches or dies that you have of graduating sizes, plain, scalloped, circle or oval. You could even use a Coluzzle template.

If using punches to do this, it's easiest to use the kind you can turn over and see exactly where you're punching.

these pictures won't fit a punch there are 3 or 4 girls in 1 photo. my punches are too small.
Plus in some of them there are images in the background around the faces that I would like to cover over with a frame.
