Cherished Family Memory Shadow Box
Hello Craft Friends!
My name is Dana. Today's project we'll be creating a Family Memory Shadow Box. I'm using the Tres Jolie October Scrapbook kit! This kit is one of my favorites! Here's what you'll receive in the kit: 49 and Market "Vintage Orchard" Collection pack, with 10 double sided patterned papers and an Exclusive Printed Sheet of fun images to fussycut and use to embellish your layouts, albums and More! You'll also receive 49 and Market Vintage Orchard Laser Diecuts, and Country Blooms flower pack, Tres Jolie Chipboard Pumpkin, Little Birdie flowers and Prima marketing flowers! Order your kit today before they are gone! Here's a photo of the Scrapbook kit:
From my Craft stash I'll be using: Tim Holtz Idea-ology Display Wooden Box, foam dots, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Gathered Twigs and Idea-ology Cello Tape.
To begin our project, I chose one of the patterned papers (Pressed Leaves)to cover the inside of our shadow box. I cut to measure 8 & 1/2 x 8 & 1/2 inches. Glue in place.
Next I cut another paper (painted Foliage) to measure 9x9 inches. Glue on the backside of your shadow Box. See photo:
Cut 4 total paperstrips from the same paper measuring 9x1inch. Glue on outside panels on all 4 sides. See photo:
Next cut a total of 4 strips measuring 1 x 8 & 1/2 inches, glue on all 4 inside panels. The bottom inside strip I cut on the brown B side of this paper.
Cut out the index card from the back of the Laser diecut cover sheet. I teared around the edges in scattered areas and inked along the edges using Distress Ink. Then from my stash, I applied a few pieces of the Idea-ology Cello Tape. This tape reminds me of the old worn scotch tape. See photo:
I glued my index card at the towards the top of the inside of my shadow box. I tore a small piece of wood grained paper-script side and ink the edges, apply to the bottom right corner using foam dots. See photo:
I chose a large photo and added foam dots onto the backside before adhering over my index card.
On the right side I glued a brown withered branch. See above. And on the bottom right corner I glued a diecut leaves and one of the Little Birdie Orange Denny flowers. Here's a photo:
On the left upper corner I glued acouple diecut withered branch and leaves. From the Little Birdie Denny flower pack, I glued a few flowers over top. And a 49 and Market Country Blooms flower on the bottom. Here's a closeup!
On the lower left corner, I glued a few diecut pieces, twig, button, heart and added a sentiment strip over the top! Here's a photo:
Above my photo, I glued a diecut bow, and peach stamp. On the top edge of my index card I glued a tab on the right edge. Here's a finished photo of my Shadow box!
Hope you enjoyed my project and are inspired to create one of your own. I think this makes a great Home decor piece you can display anywhere.
Thank you for joining me today and taking time to visit the Tres jolie Blog!

Until next month, Happy Crafting!
