Shadow Box Frame




Our Daughter Jodee asked if I could make this for her new Living room or dining room wall, I made a templet for the map people them printed out a Map of Iselin NJ and one of Pinellas park FL for her and her hubby. I then used the templet on heavy cardboard and then glued on the map of Iselin NJ , for Jodee and the map of Pinellas Park Fl for Paul. I used a nice piece of black and white paper we got at "whim so doodle", here in St. Pete Fl and used it for the back ground of the map people then glued it in place and then added the map people to the center of the paper using pop dots. I put this in a 10" x 10" Black Shadow Box Frame that we picked up at Joannes. I hope you all like what I did with this. Our daughter just Graduated from & Studied Interior design at Qc Design School
she has that special eye for design We are both so proud of her in all that she does.

I hope you will leave me a comment about this project I did today.
Thanks for stopping by do stop again soon I love comments and hope to see you become a follower.

Have a great weekend

I used a nice bright White card stock, for the card it self then added a pink to layer over the white, then added my two printed pieces. I used my MS butter fly punches, I used my spellbinder small scalloped oval, and used my stamp "just for you" I then used my stampin'up! ink.
I added a pink satin ribbon and then added the bow. I used my hot glue gun and my glue stick to adhere the papers. I enjoyed doing this challenge for MOJO MONDAY once again. I hope you all enjoy this card I created and would love to have your comments and even have you as one of my followers.

"Love Fills our Home "

Home is the place your heart resides
Home is full of sisters and brothers
