These jewels were in a treasure chest found in our backyard by these pirates. Oh yes, pirate booty...

The shadowbox measures 9" square, and I got it a while ago. It came with a mat, but I elected to not use it for this project. Don't let those limit you when you go looking for your own. I can't be the only one obsessed with these things...
Here's another tip: Get a shoebox and walk around your house. Use it to collect your own treasures. I did this the other day, and it was filled in no time. Notes, little figurines, favorite board books, legos, crayons, paint sets, a photo that sparked a memory, our daughter's first lock of hair, our son's first shoes. There is a ton of stuff around this place that represents where we are right now in our lives, as well as where we've been. I love that. These boxes are going to line the upstairs hallway when I'm finished making more. You bet I'm going to share when the time comes...
