The shadow box is an easy way to capture cherished memories.
Go to Micheal's, or your local craft store, and purchase a shadow box. Select one of your favorite photo's and place it in the center. Think back to the moment you are trying to capture, and add whatever you like that symbolizes that moment.
For example:
The top shadow box was made for my son Mason. His ultrasound is the heart of it all and it is accented by two needle points my mother did for me when I was a baby. You will also see a dollar bill with the word "boy." My husband received this as change when we first got pregnant, before we even knew Mason's sex. Incredible!
The second shadow box captures our Honeymoon to Hawaii. It is a tiny pillow case filled with "Aloha!" Little palm and banana trees set the scene for the Luau going on front and center. This box also incorporates lava rock and shells from the beach. I have been advised, by all who have traveled to Hawaii, that it is bad luck to bring back lava rock. I always tell them I asked the beautiful god of the volcano, if I could just have a little, and she said of course. No bad luck for me.
