So, all these snow days (and some long naps) have given some time to work on some holiday gift shadow box collages. I've had these box frames (from IKEA) for awhile and have been wanting to do this for soooo long. Now, I actually got around to it. If you are my father, my mother, or my friend Kim STOP READING and go do something else...hee hee. ..This one that says "quilt" is for my sewing obsessed mother! Her sewing room is purple so this little goddess of the stitching will be happy at home...complete with some vintage lace and orange thread!
My friend Kim LOVES writing and literature, so I wanted to make something that was a literary goddess. She also loves the SCA and historic costume, so that's why this one has this look. In fact, this was the very first one I made. This has a stately lady of lit with some fun letters, a metal cat charm and some really fun white round decorative disks.
Finally, this one is for my road trip loving father. It has a fun vintage map in the background featuring one of his favorite highways - 395 in eastern california. (and lake tahoe!) It also has some fun vintage photos, a key for starting a drive and some funky felt animal stickers that I simply HAD to add to it! I'm ready to go for a drive!

Hey, lady - thanks for dropping by! And these shadowboxes are AWESOME! I have some of those IKEA boxes, and have been using them for other things, but I really like these . . .
I have some of those boxes too waiting for just the right project! I'm sure your friends and family are going to be just thrilled with these...happy holidays!
I think Kim is still cooing over her's. You should consider making some of these to sell. They're wonderful. If I can ever get out of the house again I might get some of those and try my hand at them but you're still and always the best!
Whoever programmed the random letter generator for verification needs a smack in the head. "irmatark" indeed!
