Teeny Tiny Inchie Boxes

I have been having more fun making these stacking triple inchie boxes! I call them Wally's Triple Inchie Boxes due to the family joke about Wally wrapping my Christmas presents in several boxes....inside each other. A small piece of jewelry looks like a small sports car by the time he is done wrapping and gets it under the tree! I am uploading the video on You Tube that gives the dimensions and shows how to cut all three of these boxes, including lids and accordion fold out strips to play with these yourselves! The video will also show you how to make the raggedy edge flowers and leaves and give you ideas for embellishing. All from only 1 sheet of 12 x 12 double sided paper! The photos shows them opened, then closed and then stacked inside each other. Makes a neat little swap or RAK project. Let me know what you think and if you are going to try them...I'd love to see yours! Hugs!

Sewing Mini Album Journal



Here is another mini I made using a version of Jennibellie's spine system.  Now I can keep track of all those sewing projects I do.  Used cards and envelopes for pockets.  Organized and ready to sew!  LOVE using corrugated cardboard!

Margaret's Birdhouse









I was thinking about what to take as a gift to a party for a friend of ours that was turning 60.  She loves country and birdhouses and I don't really do county designs....vintage and primitive, yes, but not really classic country.  I decided to go for an eclectic country combining some of my vintage with cheerful colors revolving around a more bright blue instead of country blue.  The corrugated card was just the thing to tie it all together, I do believe!  And she loved it!  Here are some photos so you can judge if you think she really liked it or was just being nice!  To see the full journey in creating this mini album journal, please check out my You Tube Video that I will hopefully have uploaded by tomorrow!
