SNAP, Crackle and Pop!

I am a big photography fan and at the moment I'm loving black photo frames. There are a variety of options available but here are some of my favourites:

• Memory boxes are a great idea as they enable you to create a college of memories either from an event or over time, using photos and keepsakes. At £20 this one, from John Lewis, is ideal - better than keeping them in a scrapbook or in a cardboard box!

• This is a lovely idea from Matalan, at a great price - 5 photos can be displayed in various sizes. The 'Memories' stand makes it ideal for a mantlepiece and at £12.00 it's a bargain!

• Need to separate a room or hide something? This photo screen allows you to showcase your photos at the same time. At £75, (from Next) it allows you to display 27 photos on one side (which works out less than £3 a photo). It is also suitable for a variety of photo sizes.

• A variety of sizes, at a reasonable price, in the same style, means you can create a block of photos as a piece of art on a bare wall. These wooden frames are currently on sale in Debenhams varying in price from £4-7.20

• A plain wall can be livened up with this box college frame from Next. At £28 it's a great deal (approx £3 per frame) as both landscape and portrait photos can be displayed.
