This is a little paper box made out of cardstock, and the lid is a double-sided patterned paper.


The box with a lid on.


And this is the box opened. Each colored paper is it's own part of the box, if that makes sense.


These are cool as personalized photo albums with a gift card tucked in the middle. The variations of this project are endless. Oh, and please forgive the Christmas theme.

Thanks for looking!!

So once upon a time, I worked at a scrapbook store and got to teach a few teen classes. This is an adaptation of another altered album we had in the store. These things are awesome to make.

The album is a covered.....mini pizza box!!! How awesome is that?


And here it is with the lid opened.


The "album" is really strips of 12x12 cardstock that accordion out. There are pictures on both sides, but I just took a picture of the one.


Thanks for looking!!

Here's a little card I made one day, but couldn't send it because I loved it too much. I'm hoping I can get over that.



This picture doesn't really do the colors justice, but thanks for looking!!

This is a project that I've had sitting around for a while, and I finally decided it was time to share.

This is the front. It is a gate-fold with a ribbon closure.


Once you open it up, this is what you've got.


The "flags."




A close up of the laser cut word.


And this would be who the book is for. My Ruby girl.


Thanks for taking a look.

This is a project that I did about two years ago that I'm just now getting around to posting. Shame on me....


This picture doesn't really show the colors properly. The color scheme is hot pink, light pink, black and white.




And it folds out into a little picture book.

This project is super easy and it's fun to do with younger kids.

Thanks for looking!

I've been a lurker on craftster forever, but this is the first project that I've ever posted. Thanks for taking a look!

So I fell in love with this http://www.uncommongoods.com/item/item.jsp?itemId=14188 clock, but I didn't feel like dishing out $25 plus s&h. A class was available at my local scrapbook store to alter a clock, and I opted for more paint than paper and pictures and this was the result.

I'm a student at SFA in Nacogdoches, and I'm desperately bored and looking for someone to craft with.

I am currently planning a trip up north to Minnesota, and one of my stops will be Chicago. I will be travelling by train (Amtrak) and am not quite sure where that would put me, location wise. My connecting train leaves too soon after arriving, so instead of trying to catch it and possibly miss it, I've opted to spend a day in Chicago.

I suppose my question is, if I only have one day in Chicago, what should I do and/or see while I'm there? I have a non-existent budget, so cheap is good. Also, transportation. If I'm coming into the train station, where does that put me in the city?

I would greatly appreciate any pointers, because I am very excited about my little layover, even though I'm from Texas and know that I am unprepared for how brutally cold it's going to be.

Thanks in advance!!

My roommates and I area looking to paint our new pad, and the idea was brought up to paint at least one wall with chalkboard paint, so we could have a "wall of fame," so to speak. I've done a google search, but so far I haven't found a chalkboard paint that isn't black or green. We were hoping for something white.

I remember vaguely hearing about a paint that kids could color on, with crayons or the like, but I haven't been able to find info on that one either.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? Can someone point me in the right direction?
