This framer is awesome. She does a great job with needle point pieces. Have been going there for years - super talented. Worth every dime.

Cheers and Applause to the ladies at New Creations. I brought in a frame that was dropped on its corners and they repaired it! I'm grateful for their creative solutions. read more

I needed glass for a find at Salvation Army of an old Chinese frame with silk on paper of Cranes. Andrea suggested plexiglass UV rather than glass in order to protect the piece because of the porous nature of glass and it looks beautiful. The shop is like a version of Alice in Wonderland with all the unique and wonderful frame options, something surprised you at every look! (may be a better analogy of walking into a fabric store) Highly recommend this shop! read more

Spectacular service-and advice. Pricey, yes, and worth every penny. A beautiful way to show case your art and memories.

Best framers I've ever used! Since I moved down from SF. Great ideas and suggestions. Deliver perfect work!

I was hanging a few pictures when I had dropped one....cracked the glass. Dang-it. I'd made a few phone calls to the typical places; Michael's, Home Depot, but couldn't guarantee that they could help; today. Here comes Andrea to the rescue!! She was so helpful over the phone and cut new glass (while I waited) for all my matching set of frames. Andrea was just so nice, a great conversationalist and one of the rare instances of great customer service in a market where that kind of Sales interaction is a fleeting experience. Andrea - you've made me a customer forever. Many Thanks!! read more

Excellent personalized service. Creative ideas. Friendly and great quality work. Will use them again for needlepoint framing. Also has super cute ornaments made from used stretcher bars read more

5 stars for quality and service. I had several pictures I needed framed within 24 hours, And Nancy and her wonderful team had my artwork custom framed and matted by the next morning. It was beautifully done and packaged nicely. Truly the best framing experience. They have a vast array of frame choices to choose from, mats in all colors of the rainbow, and several types of glass or plexiglass- very high quality. Would highly recommend! A++++ read more

Nancy is awesome! I was just looking her up to recommend her and decided to leave a review. I've gone to her several times! Highly recommended. read more

I have been coming to New Creation Picture Framing for 30+ years. There is an abundance of frame and matting options available and Nancy and Andrea always help you to make the right decision. They truly have a great eye for enhancing whatever it is you want framed. I have taken my photos, artwork and my needlepoints to be framed each piece has come out perfect! If I could give them 10 stars I would... read more

Wow! Andrea just finished framing a large needlepoint piece for me and raised it from the level of very nice to the height of SPECTACULAR! She spent an hour with me initially---picking out the perfect mats, frames, glass, borders--and the results are beautiful, stunning and high quality. This is the place to go if you want to showcase your work. I recommend it highly! read more

Nancy and her team have completed dozens of frames for me personally and for my business. All were exceptional. Beyond that, they completed printing of photographs, prints on metal, wall design services and coloration of existing black and white prints. Complete full service wall design not found anywhere anywhere else. read more

You get what you pay for. This place is pricy, but it is also THE BEST frame store. Excellent quality and selection. The museum glass is expensive, but it makes a huge difference in eliminating glare, and therefore increasing the visibility of the art. The first time I walked in, I had bought some art to put in my new home. I had no idea how to select a frame, matting ... anything. Andrea guided me through the entire process, had great suggestions, and let me know about lots of options. I have gone back several times. They even took on a particularly difficult project - stabilizing a super large painting on this heavy board and adding a mount to the back. If you need a gorgeous frame and/or extra care taken with your piece, take it here. read more

Fantastic workmanship. Very friendly, at a fair price. They even think , (gasp), outside the box! Helped recommend several different options to frame some posters I had purchased on a recent trip that were completely new to me. read more

While I've been framing customer with terrific results, this post is to thank New Creation for supplying scrap matte board for a craft project for a church retreat. They were incredibly kind and helpful! read more

If you need something framed, LOOK NO FURTHER. This place is amazing - the workmanship is the best out there and you will not be disappointed. So happy this hidden gem exists! read more

I had an original koi fish painting that needed framing. My neighbor recommended this shop as she had work done in the past. This was my first custom framing project and I didn't know what to expect. I worked with Nancy who was absolutely amazing. She had so much enthusiasm, passion and creativity making the process exciting and enjoyable for me. Within 1 week, I was back again to have a custom mirror made to go above my couch. Once again, Nancy was professional and enthusiastic about the project, we worked together creating several other mirrors in various shapes, colors and textures to be placed on either side of the large piece. Nancy is extremely professional, detail oriented and knowledgeable with an amazing creative vision. Not only will I continue going back with future projects, I have told many friends, family members and colleagues about this hidden gem. read more

I had many pieces worked on by Nancy and Andrea -- framing, replacing glass, re-matting, etc. -- in a variety of media: paintings, photographs, lithographs, Japanese woodblock prints, etc. -- and their work is always first-rate and professional. They also have excellent taste in choosing materials. They are fast, reasonable, and very pleasant to deal with. If you're looking for a framer in Pasadena, you can't do better than New Creation. read more

I have had many items framed here in the past decade, including a lace doily I bought in Europe, an actual double sided movie poster, several "regular" posters, and many hand stitched embroidery pieces (including one that was stained and needed "creative" matting). Their aesthetic is always right on target, their service is impeccable, and they work very hard to show off whatever I bring them in the most flattering way possible. I aspire to one day bring them art worth more than the frame, though. ;P I cringe to think of trying to find a new place - especially for stretching my embroidery - when they decide to take a well-earned retirement... read more

I have a framed picture in the bathroom of a shampoo ad from a 1912 magazine, and it had sustained some water damage on the mat. I know what you're thinking, but the bathroom is the perfect place for it. I read the Yelp reviews for New Creation and they were all so glowing. I had a great design session with Nancy. She totally "got" the period feel, and helped me pick out a new mat, plus suggested a backing to make the ad flatten out and be more secure in the frame. It all made perfect sense, and working with Nancy was an absolute pleasure. Their services are in demand, so I had to wait a couple of weeks; no big deal, especially when I saw the finished result. The whole picture and frame looked, well, "sparkling." I told Nancy it was too beautiful to hang in the bathroom, but Nancy said no, it belonged in the bathroom and it would just fit there. Of course she was right. Nancy and crew are masters of creativity and technical excellence. 5 stars really does not do them justice. read more

My goodness. My wife and I went into this shop and were completely impressed by the owner - Nancy. Her knowledge on frames were incredible and she had the patience to go through every little detail. We really didn't mind the price because we knew we're getting top notch service. This is what the service industry is all about! read more

I was looking for somebody to cut a new mat for an exhisting frame. I called several people and gave diamentions over the phone. Every one I called was over 20.00 and I would have to wait as long as a week to get my mat. I walked in to New Creation and 20 minutes later I had a new mat! Fast, efficent and knowlegable folks. I'm sold on New Creation Framing. read more

The ONLY place I'll ever go to to frame my cross stitch. The ladies are amazing artist themselves and they KNOW how to properly frame your artwork to preserve it for years to come. I am always happy with the framing and that's why I drive for an hour and a half just to go here! read more

I used to live in Pasadena, and found this place from my local needlework shop,where they have several finished pieces framed by New Creation. I took one small piece of needlework to them, and the finished product looked like a million bucks! Since then, I've taken fine needle lace, oil paintings, and more needlework to be framed. Every time they spend an exceptional amount of time helping me to pick out the perfect mat, edging, and frame. They offer their own helpful opinions but also really listen to what I had in mind. The workmanship is exceptional. Once it took quite a while for them to get a piece back to me; Nancy called and let me know it was going to take longer. The reason why: She ordered the first set of materials from the supplier, had put it all together, but didn't think it looked good enough -- the wood of the frame just didn't look right. So she ordered another set of materials and did the work all over again. They are THAT particular! Of course the finished product was perfect. I think of them as not just framers, but artists in what they do. There is no where else I'd go for anything you want framed well. I have now moved to Seattle and tried a frame shop there, and it just reinforced my admiration for New Creation. I am visiting Pasadena this weekend and have brought pieces with me to take to them. It's worth the trouble! read more

Hands down, best Frame shop I have ever been to. I know what you are thinking, "this guy has an outward opinion about picture framing", well he does. Extremely friendly, and courteous, and for a fraction of the price of other frame stores. They even gave me very useful advice on what adhesives to use for framing my prints and how to protect against temperature fluctuation and moisture. The owner is also a very talented artist herself. read more

A great place to go for great service and excellent work . I highly recommend New Creation whenever you want quality work done for your framing needs. read more

Love these people. I've been going here for years -- I'm a stitcher, and they really understand how to frame needlework. I have never seen anyone do as nice a job, and they excel at getting creative to bring something unique to the piece. Their prices are average for the industry -- this stuff is just not low-cost! read more
