I wanted to document this sweet memory of Savanna and me at a Fourth of July party. We stopped for a little photo shoot, and I absolutely love looking back at these moments and seeing just how much she has grown over the years.
Let’s get started! One of my favorite ways to use the Shadow Box Insert kit is as the foundation for a layout. It creates the perfect starting point for building a large embellishment cluster. I’m really into circles right now, so when I saw the circular design in the Shadow Box Insert, I knew it would make a great focal point. I started by trimming the vellum included in the kit into a 7-inch circle. Then I followed the printed guide to layer all of the stickers and Sprinkles, creating a full and colorful cluster. Next, I cut an 8-inch circle from the Blue Jean Floral Graph Petite Prints paper and adhered it behind the vellum circle, making sure everything was centered.
For the background, I used an 11” x 11” sheet of white cardstock from the HomeTown USA Solid Assortment and centered both circles on the page. To finish the layered background, I trimmed the Plaid to Be an American paper to 11½” x 11½” and mounted it onto the 12” x 12” Ladybug Plaid Polka Dot paper. The rest of the layout came together by tucking embellishments around the circle. I finished by adding my photo, the “July 4th” and “Summer Memories” titles, enamel dots, stars, and a few splatters to bring everything together.
I hope this layout inspires you to use your Shadow Box Inserts differently and document some of your favorite summer memories. Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I’ll see you next time! Happy crafting!
