Fab Friday TV - Be Inspired #80: Shadowbox

Hello Everyone!

This is Tammy from Cricut Critters and I have Fab Friday TV for you today! 

Photobucket

I just love these new compartment shadowboxes!  My design team member, June made a beautiful one of her two daughters this past Wednesday, along with some other gorgeous frames from our team!  Click HERE to see them!

Photobucket

I used the cricut cartridges BLACKLETTER & EASTER 2010 to embellish my frame.

And the FLEUR DE LIS cuttlebug embossing folder behind the cross.

If you want to see how I got my cuts so shiny, your'e gonna have to watch this video :-)

Love this shadow box! Your Daughter is so beautiful!

I just used glossy accents for the first time this past weekend for a lightbulb cut I needed on a LO this past weekend. I see using this product a lot more in my future!

Have a safe and fun trip to Chicago!
