Photo Shadow Box

     I decided to take the scrap booking to a new level. So I added things that would bring the parts of the page on different height layers. Maybe it is that 3D artist in me. So now if you move while viewing my projects you get a small sense of a 3D image versus a 2D image. And in the Christmas one you can see I added lighting as well. My son is a huge inspiration so I am trying to d a photo box of all his "First Times". I am still like 10 behind.

     Documenting my sons first flight was fun. The people on Southwest were incredibly nice when they heard about it. They made the little certificate and got to check out the cockpit. Also i included some extra shots to show how I construct the piece.

     First trip to Disneyland. This piece has some Christmas lights that light up when you hit the switch on top. We has his first timer button. As well as on the Disney map I have pins attached with red thread showing the exact path we took that whole day.

     Of course I had to do a shadow box of my son's birth. I kept all kinds of things so I would have plenty to choose from when designing the piece. His little foot tags, beabie, and one of a few drawings I did while his mom and him slept.

First Scrapbook

     I had helped out my, at the time, fiance do some really simple scrapbooking way back in 2004. I realize, even though she did not have much creative talent (Shhhh she has a Masters so she has other strengths), she was really into it. When I decided I wanted ask her to marry me I thought as part of the whole proposal I would create a scrapbook of the behind the scenes that lead up creating the parts needed for this scrapbook. So here it is.
