My Shadow Box Layout - well sort of

Well, after making several shadow Boxes as gifts for Christmas, which you can see here, I finally got around to doing one for myself.  It is not in a shadow box, it's in a frame which I plan to put right in the entryway in the basement.

I used the CTMH retired papers from the Simple Pleasures paper pack and of course, the flowers from the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.  If you want to order this wonderful cartridge that I use ALL the time, head over to my website and order it.  The prices in the CTMH catalogue have gone down quite considerably, here is the chance to order.

Hope this inspires you to create your own.




Thanks for visiting.
