Memory Box!
What seems to be a popular pin on Pinterest (or at least amongst people I follow/follow me) is this memory box. The original idea is the brainchild of this blogger. The basic idea is to use a shadow box to display all of your movie and event tickets in a nice way that doesn't consume much space and doesn't look too busy! I only made a few changes- I used a 12"x12" instead of a 8 1/2"x11" (partially because it was the only one I could find, plus I had a ton of 12"x12" scrapbook paper to choose from! I also had to cut the slot into the back since I couldn't find a wooden box (but soooooon I plan on making my own!). Rest assured, the cardboard and felt were a pain to cut through (whereas I would have dragged out the jigsaw or something if it was wood). I love my take on this, but thanks to the blogger who dreamt it up in the first place!

I think I have the same shadow box as you. How exactly did you cut it?
ReplyDeleteOh hey! Sorry I didn't respond for a long time, I made a new page and will be moving this post, too.
DeleteI hacked at it with a serrated steak knife a little bit, and also an exacto knife, until I was far enough through that I could manage the scissors. I guess the trick was making the hole in the paper part look good to cover it up, because it was far from a nice, perfect rectangle. But you would have never known had I not told you ;)
