Memory art comes in all shapes and sizes. It doesn’t need to be big to get noticed. This cute decorated hanging tin really draws the viewer in with its peekaboo photo feature. Tiffany poked two holes in the tin’s top and secured the frame to the tin top with brads. You can either leave the tin closed for a fun frame, or you can insert a mini book inside to house extra photos—a treasure just waiting to be discovered.
Supplies: Tin (KI Memories); brads, frame (BasicGrey); big brad (Hot Off The Press); chipboard shape (Li’l Davis); ribbon (unknown)

Clipboard Clipboards have really come into their own as a platform on which to build memory art. They have found their niche right between decorated frames and shadow boxes as a means for display. By extending the decorations of her photo montage onto the clip, the clipboard itself becomes part of the art, not just a support for it. This clipboard creation is the perfect medium to herald the transition from childhood to teen years—not too juvenile and not too grown-up.
