Shadowbox for a friend

 

I recently made a framed scrapbook page for a friend. She's been a BFF for 26 years, ever since we met on the first day of college as roommates. She has been fighting Stage 3 breast cancer for about 14 months now and doing remarkably well - she has a true fighting spirit. I was intimidated making something that I wanted to be so special, but this is what I came up with (indeed, she cried when I gave it to her).
