Card In A Box -

This is a new item that I made.  The pictures here are my 2nd time - I had to make a practice run you know.  I am so very excited with how it turned out and how REALLY simple it was to make.  Yeah you heard me simple.  I was worried at first it looked complex, however after some research and few you tubes I found it wasn't complex at all.  The hardest part is figuring out where and what embellishments you are adding.  (also the fun part)  The business card in these pictures will be replaced with a gift card.  I like that they fold and fit in a envelope.  This is my first real nice one I completed I will be making 60 some of these here in the next couple weeks.  My daughter and friends will be helping.  Hope you enjoy and I hope you will try one of these.

This is the Card in a Box - the business card will be a gift card.

Close up of it.  Images and box were cut on my cricut explore air.

2016

WOW 2016 here already!

I am going to try and get to all my resolutions this year.  Lots of scrapbooking ones.  My daughter will soon be 15 years old and I am only finishing her 2 year albums.  As you can see I need to move a long a little faster.  I am making plans, hoping to follow through and have a successful 2016.

What are your goals for 2016?  Please share.

I find it helps if you write them, perhaps create a vision board.  Maybe I will try both.

This year I am going to break my goals out a little more.

Getting the PERFECT PAPER!

Wow! I haven't been out here for awhile so again new year resolution is to get out here and post some stuff hopefully pages I am doing.  Lots of goals this year.

You can see in the top left the three black dots I started with.

Here I have a few more done. I am starting to think Why did I do this!

This page now done with black dots.

This one is completely done.

This page took the longest.  I love it though.

Here is why it takes me so long to get pages done though. I had this great red paper with white polk a dots on it. However, in Charese's costume it was red with black polk a dots so you guessed it I made my own red paper with black polk a dots. Here is the transformation. I took the red and white paper and some CTMH glitter back sticky back Shimmer Trim and a hole punch and made my own red and black polk a dot paper. It was a lot of punching. Sore fingers. I would like to say I am done but I am duplicating this page so I have to do it again. Hope you enjoy!
