Photo: Crate Paper

No one wants to toss the carefully chosen candles and decorations from the top of baby's cake, and Crate Paper has the perfect solution: use scrapbook paper and assorted embellishments to create a shadow box. Add a favorite photo or party favor; placed on a shelf or dresser top, it'll serve as a reminder of the the big day long after the sugar rush fades.
