Scrapboxes

OK, here is another idea I hijacked from Martha Stewart and Darcy Miller.

Darcy Miller records lots of her family's life events with the shadow boxes that she calls Scrapboxes.

Loved the idea and wanted to give it a try so I headed down to my friendly neighborhood Hobby Lobby.

Their shadow boxes were 1/2 off, but their barnwood frames were cheaper than the black ones sooooo...

broke out the trusty spray paint.  Have to say, this is a little more effort than I'll probably put into it next time, but if you're wanting to match a room's decor, definitely worth it.  Then its easy, schmeezy.  Spray adhesive on back board, scrapook paper to fit, mount photo on some foam squares, add 3D object with glue dots & journal.  This goes very quickly if you do not spray paint the frame...and I have a hard time with delayed gratification!  Smiles!!!
