My nephew is getting baptized this Saturday!
Can't believe how fast time flies.
Anywho... here's a little something we're sending him to help
him along his journey!!!!

I bought an 8x10 Shadow Box Frame.
(later finding out they are easy to make)
Monogrammed it with his name using vinyl lettering.
For the coin slot, I drilled a couple holes in the top
and ran my dremel across from one hole to the next.
If you are painting your box, make sure you mask off the
glass inside & out so you don't get paint on the glass.

I just decorated the back board with
scrapbook paper and some clip art.

Wrote a special message to him with the date
and it's good to go!!!
Well.... I did send it with some $$ in it.
Hope it gets there safe!!!
Is the badge you used in the box a laser cut made by Paper Wizard? If so, would you mind giving credit and sharing our site? Thank you! Bonnie Smith, Paper Wizard
