My First Hybrid Scrapbooking Project!

I love it!  I love it!  I love it!  This was a gift to my mom for her 60th birthday and she absolutely adored it.  It’s simply a hinged shadow box with a fabric back.  I used pins to secure the picture and the words.  To make the words and picture “pop”, I used Zots glue dots stacked two-together.  I found some beautiful picture embellishments at Michael’s and added them to the inside of the shadow box and to the outer frame.  It turned out beautiful, if I do say so myself!  I’ll have to make one of these again when the opportunity arises.  The journaling reads:

May the good Lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you’re far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true
And do unto others
As you’d have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you’ll always stay
Forever Young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
with a prince or a vagabond
And may you never love in vain
and in my heart you will remain
Forever Young

And when you finally fly away
I’ll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell
But whatever road you choose
I’m right behind you, win or lose
Forever Young
