Hi everyone, my name is Michelle Gallant and I’m so happy to be here as a guest today!  We recently went on a weekend trip to Boston (for a hockey tournament which we won…yay!), but we had time to visit quite a bit too.   I had all these new travel photos so I knew I had to use the Chasing Adventure collection.

Frame Special Travel Photos and Display Them In Your Home by Making a DIY Shadow Box Frame!


I’m usually a layout crafter but I wanted to do something different because all my photos were from different highlights of our trip.  I found a cute shadow box cut file from Lori Whitlock in the Silhouette store. (here’s a similar grid picture frame from amazon) It was time consuming but it was pretty easy to put together.

Create a Shadow Box Title with Thickers

The first thing I added to it after my photos was the Road Trip title.  It was really perfect for it.

This will probably end up in my daughter's room.  It was the perfect way to document this fun weekend!

Next Add Embellishments

Here I just added a simple piece of washi tape and a little pink car!  So cute!

Use Washi Tape to highlight photos

In addition to the pink car, the thickers set also had this adorable taxi!  I added a city outline washi tape behind it.

Frame Die Cuts or Ephemera

You can also frame die cuts or ephemera in the frames or even layer them on top of photos as well!

This girl with the map is a die cut in the Chasing Adventures line. I layered her on top of one of our photos!

Customize Your Travel Shadow Box to Match Your Home!

So for my first attempt at a shadowbox, I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.  The hardest part was probably picking out which photos to use.
