Springy Mother's Day shadow box

I was browsing Michael's a few weeks ago and stumbled upon this adorable 7 Gypsies shadow box wall hanging. I immediately knew I could make something cute out of it. With Mother's Day approaching, I decided I wanted to make something for myself! I am always so worried about getting gifts made and/or bought, that I forget that I'm a mom, too! So I made this with pictures of my sweet Reese & Paige.



I'm a huge fan of bold & bright colors, so I knew I wanted it to pop. I have an old stack of American Girl papers, and they were perfect for this! I ransacked my embellishment collection and found all sorts of things I forgot I had. I'm really pleased with how this turned out and now I just need a spot to hang it :)

  8. This is such an attractive shadow box. Can try something of the same sort for my mother also. Quite excited for mother's day party arranged by ladies club for all members. We all daughters will also accompany our lady lucks to Los Angeles event venues for the auspicious ceremony. Hope the day goes well.
