Graphic 45 Place in Time

Hello paper crafters! Today I bring you a Graphic 45 Mother’s Day gift idea using the Window Shadow Box, the Place in Time Deluxe Collector’s Edition and Graphic 45 Staples.

Graphic 45 Mother's Day Shadow Box

The Graphic 45 shadow boxes come equipped with hanging hardware; but I decided to turn mine into a tabletop version with the Graphic 45 Antique Claw Feet.

I used the May cut apart papers, along with the purple from the March cut aparts.
