Those of you who’ve been to our home will recognize the general layout of the project above. In the Heritage Makers Template Gallery, one of the HM designers has created one of these “mock” shadowboxes (11″x14″ poster print) for each holiday or season of the year. Since January doesn’t have a theme in and of itself, I went with the “family” themed shadowbox to hang until February when I’ll create a Valentine’s themed print. These run $5 and are very easily and inexpensively framed with an 11×14″ frame from your local craft store. In my case, since I publish them so regularly, I just put the new print on top and leave the rest hidden behind it in the frame. It seems to be working just fine so far!
Here’s another fun project I recently completed. These are bookmarks for the MOMS Club Book Club I’m in. I make these bookmarks for everyone in the book club each year. They’re always a hit! I create the project on HM’s double-sided 5×7 invitations. Once published, I use a craft cutting board to cut the bookmarks apart. I then punch a small hole in the top of each and tie a coordinating ribbon. These bookmarks come in handy throughout the year!
Another recurring project I do each year is in celebration of my sweet niece. I create a poster (which I then frame so she can hang it in her room) all about her! I love the process of selecting pictures of her for the project and the look on her face when she unwraps them is absolutely PRICELESS! Shhhhh… don’t tell her that the whole project, including a poster frame from the craft store, runs me around $15! She would agree, the gift is priceless! 
And, of course, a custom birthday card too!
Thanks for sharing-these are so cool!!!
Chloe,
The shadow box is amazing! Love how you added flowers. Such a great idea to do front and back on poster, then hanging, so cute! Your creativity continues to inspire me!!
