I can't remember if I ever posted this here before, but I figured I'd share in case anyone else wanted to copy. 
Like many, I collect pins from our Disney vacations. I like to get ones that are relevant to attractions we've done, plus ones for our hotels & other events (such as Hoop Dee Doo or Chef Mickey). Anyway, I knew I wanted a way to display them in our house. So, I got one of those deep shadowbox-style frames that are 12 x 12, the standard scrapping size. (It's been a while, but I think I got it at Target.) I created a digiscrap pages in Photoshop, with a Disney World title at the bottom, and room for the pins on the upper 3/4 portion of the page. For the main background I used a paper from my free Dream Trip digipaper pack at my blog. If you're a paper scrapper, of course you can use a nice piece of 12 x 12 paper.
Once my layout was complete I sent it out for printing since I don't have a color printer at home. I took 2 12 x 12 pieces of cork and hot glued them together, one on top of the other, so it was a double thickness. Then, I used photo adhesive to attach my printed layout to the cork. I did a rough-draft placement of my pins over the layout with the pinbacks on, then removed the pinbacks & pushed the pins into the layout through the cork. The last step was to place the corked layout into the frame under the glass, and attach the back to the frame again. And it was ready to hang on the wall!
Here's what the final display looks like:
It's hanging in my hall, and every time I pass by it, I get a Disney World fix.
