Crafting: Birth Day Scrapbox

I have an ongoing list of crafty things that I want to do in our house - from printing photos on canvas, to knitting scarves, to sewing pillowcase dresses....the list goes on and on. I can't be the only one who does this...right?

A few days ago I decided to check one of those crafts off my list. Emmalyn and Hope are going to be sharing a room. While I want the overall look to be cohesive, I still want there to be touches of individual photos and accomplishments. Enter Scrapboxes. Ever since I came across Darcy Miller's collection of Scrapboxes on Martha Stewart, I have wanted to incorporate some into the house. I thought the girls' room would be the perfect place to start.

My Scrapbox was going to include:

• Ultrasound photo
• Hat given to them at the hospital when they were born
• Photo of them wearing the hat
• Word collage of birth stats (birthday, length, weight, time of birth and name)

I bought the 10 x 10 white-framed shadow boxes at Michael's and used a scrap of gray patterned fabric for the backing. The hat was affixed using straight pins at an angle. I printed the photos and word collage on cream card stock and then used scrapbooking foam squares for adhesive, so that they were slightly raised from the fabric.
