Preserving a vacation memory in style
Using a shadowbox to preserve a fun vacation memory
A shadowbox is sometimes called a memory box for a reason. They are the perfect way to showcase special objects and photos that celebrate a vacation memory, family fun, achievements, events, or just the special people in our lives. And a vacation memory is the perfect place to start when creating a shadowbox. Relive those wonderful memories every day by putting them on display. We are experts in creating artistic presentations from your memories. All you need to do is bring them to us and we will create a one-of-a-kind framed shadowbox for you.
Here are the four steps to create a to turn your vacation memory into a fun project.
STEP 1:
Choose a vacation memory, such as the Caribbean cruise you went on last summer.
STEP 2:
Gather all the mementos and souvenirs that relate to your special memory — photos, tickets, clothing, mementos, medals, coins, maps, certificates… the more the better. We can curate while we design the project.
STEP 3:
Bring all of it to us. We will help you arrange them in an aesthetically pleasing way. Once we narrow down your items and layout, we can help you pick a suitable mat and frame.
STEP 4:
We’ll work our framing magic and present you with a framed memory to last a lifetime! Now it’s ready to hang so everyone can relive that magical Caribbean cruise with you.
Let’s take a closer look at our vacation memory project:
A T-shirt form was cut from foamboard/matboard to hold the shirt taut and in place.
Maps were scanned and printed at a size that fits the design.
Individual mats were cut to mimic a framed look for the photos.
A sand-colored linen fabric was chosen for the background. At the bottom a framed “beach” was added, built up with a spray foam and cut to accommodate items.
In another corner we added some coins from the country for your vacation memory, along with some local wine corks.
When you bring your mementos to us you expect the best and that is exactly what you will get from start to finish. We organize, design, and create complex framing projects from your vacation memory treasures. From creative ideas to hanging hardware, we provide innovative design and quality workmanship so you can enjoy your memories for years.
