Personalized Bat Mitzvah Collage

Recently I worked on another personalized Bat Mitzvah collage (for an event coming up in a few weeks) similar to the one posted here. It's a very special keepsake that measures 32x40", made up of personalized photos and memorabilia. Its displayed at the Bat Mitzvah celebration for guests to enjoy and preserved in a large custom made shadow box. The theme for this celebration is different shades of purple with a splash of zebra print. It's always so fun to make these keepsakes, they tell a big story and there's so much to look at, you'll never get bored! Also, this type of collage can be made for ANY occasion! The sky's the limit! xo

Bat Mitzvah Surprise

Good Evening All!

I hope most of you have had the chance to enjoy the beginning of the summer! I just came back from a trip to Miami for my cousin's bachelorette party! It was a blast and I'm really glad I went! I will have to post a few pictures from the festivities soon...

Today I thought I would share some pictures of a large collage that I made for a colleague of mine. She had her daughter's Bat Mitzvah this past May and wanted a keepsake that would be on display during the party and then kept in a shadowbox frame as a momento for years to come. She provided the color story (bright purple, hot pink & lime green) and also a bunch of personal pictures and childhood ephemera. I gathered all things crafty such as; the rub-ons, stickers, patterned papers, flower embellishments, gator board, etc. It was a big hit at the party and a pleasure to create! I definitely look forward to creating more in the future.
