Boxes, Bags, and Albums

I'm happy to say 'good-bye' to 2016...it was a rough year. Death, depression, and dysfunction... but by the grace of God, I am ready to move on and thank God everyday for his goodness!

One of the things that brought me joy was getting to teach some classes at a local craft store. I found several projects that have been around for some time, but the ladies enjoyed doing these projects. And I had so much fun creating!!

The first project is a Box Card. These are so fun because there are so many creative ways to celebrate any holiday or event. Here are a few that I made. These cute box cards fold up and fit into an envelope!




A tutorial can be found here. 

The next project is an adorable paper purse gift bag. This is made from a piece of patterned cardstock and a solid piece of cardstock. It can hold a set of handmade greeting cards or a variety of small gifts. Here are a couple of the ones that I made.

 A tutorial for you to watch is here.

And last of all is an Explosion Box Album. This is a cute box with a lid. When you take the lid off, an album falls open. I made one for my grandson with a 'fishing' theme filled with pictures of our grandson fishing with his granddad. I didn't take a picture of that one (can't believe I didn't!) but I also made one for my granddaughter with pictures of her doing fun 'girly' things! Here are three pics of that one!












You'll enjoy giving this a try. Here is a tutorial.

I hope you enjoy these fun projects! Working on these got me through some tough days!
