The daughter was a big scrapbooking fan, so the layout was designed to mimic a page from a scrapbook. Photos from the early school years were taken before the day of digital cameras, so these prints were scanned into the computer and adjusted with Photoshop to improve the quality and adjust their size. The photos from more recent years were already in digital format, so they only had to be cropped and re-sized.  They were displayed in a pathway design from kindergarten to Grade 12.

School related stickers and images were interspersed among the photos and the daughter's name was printed on the front of the notebook at the bottom left corner of the design. The daughter's favourite colour was pink, so the bevel of the top mat was hand-painted in a bright pink colour and also used as the font colour for a couple other design images.  A black-faux leather moulding was chosen for the frame and Tru-Vue's conservation clear glass, with its 99% UV protection, was used to help keep this 'school days memory' frame looking great for years to come.

A few years later, my customers had a similar shadow box made for their son.
