this series project is giving me a hernia

So I thought that my idea for a shadowbox series would be a lot of fun and easy to do. However, after a few tries at it, it is turning out to be more tedious and awful than I imagined. None of my pictures looked right, and I am having difficulties putting them together in the right manner. I am not sure if this idea is going to be right for me. It is coming close to when it is due and I am  scared that I am not going to finish in time!
