March 15th - A Shadow Box Remembrance

Thank you for allowing me to be Guest Designer for today. It is such a honor. I decided to make a shadow box for my children. This is the end result before inserting it in the shadow box.



The top photo is a picture of me and my husband when we got married. I was 16 and he was 19. We always said we grew up with our children because we were children when we got married. The bottom photo was taken the Christmas before he passed in March, 2010.
