“TA-DA!” Vivian’s shadowbox collage.
Finally! After 4 weeks of working on this shadowbox for my daughters room it’s finally finished! It has been a true labor of love! I wanted to create something that was girlie with a sweet vintage touch.
I used all sorts of sweet goodies in this shadowbox. Vintage chenille, lace, greeting card images, ornaments, dolls, faux pearls, scrapbook paper, buttons, glitter, and little treasures I picked up along the way.
I added the "BLING" ring because it represents the old saying "Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend". ๐
I could not be happier with the way it turned out. Im excited that Vivian will have a handmade cherished keepsake that she can enjoy for many, many years.
Now that the shadowbox is finished. Im going to start working on creating some small little treasures to sell on Etsy, and get busy on my ornaments for the Silver Bella swap. I’ll keep you posted on when it’s up and running. XOXO, Jenn

Wow! That shadowbox is amazing!
it all looks so sweet- singing and skipping-jo
So Cute!! My favorite elements are the vintage Christmas angel (I have some of those ~ love them!), the vintage ornament (of course!)…..
But I think the best is how you added the Pearl *Bubbles* to the little bathing baby!!

OOOOOHHHH!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU ALL! You have NO idea how much your wonderful comments to me! This is the first project I’ve worked on in almost a year. Your kind words of encouragement and praise means the world!

Eye candy is the perfect name for your blog. I’ve always loved candy colored shades of yellow blue & pink and you do them with such style!
I love the picture of Vivian nestled on the chennile blanket.
Oh goodness…that is soooo sigh-worthy! Very adorable. I bet it was fun collecting all the little things to populate this box. This would make a great idea for a wedding gift with wedding themed stuff. ๐ Thanks for the eye candy. I just discovered your blog and had great fun looking around.

This is so cute! What a lucky little girl! I love all of it so I can’t even pick a favorite part… but the sugary candies hanging from the roof are pretty cute ๐
Oh goodness, I just found your blog for the first time and found myself lost in all the pretties!!
I so enjoy your style and color choices and you may have just coaxed me into trying a similiar project. Thanks for the inspiration!!
I’ll be back:)
Best Wishes,
