Magnolia Lane Album Box

Never through anything out without thinking Crafty 1st!

I can't believe I didn't think of doing this sooner! Such a beautiful and easy box!! 😉
     For any of you crafters out there that also do Young Living Essential Oils... DO NOT toss your starter kit box! That is what I used for this beautiful box. It is perfect! The box is all ready to be recovered with the DSP of your choice.
      I have had 2 sitting on my floor for likely over a year... I didn't want to toss them cause I might use them... what for...? Well, I'm glad I never tossed them before! This is such a beautiful box and very easy to recover.
     I am going to do an album that will fit inside and decorate for a wedding... I will hopefully get photos to put inside one day 😊 If my daughter decides to get married one day!  I keep the first of everything I make so I am keeping this one anyway... no matter if I use it or not 😂
     I have a second box so am thinking of doing it up as a Christmas Box with an Album as well. That would be a great gift, just not sure that there would be enough "Christmas" photos to fill it... Maybe I'll do a Winter Season one instead.

     Now that I have this box done, I'm already thinking of the second one! I have to wait to order DSP for the Album but I have the DSP that I want to use for the second one and I have 6 packages so should be good to go!
     I had a little visit with my daughter and showed her the box... she said, "Oh! Nice keep sake box!" so I think I just might leave this one as a keep sake box and do the second one up with an album... show some versatility in the box 😉

All you need is a set of dominos, Jet Black Stazon Ink (#101406), Sharpie markers, some Crystal Effects (#101055) & stamps that will fit on the domino!

Fancy Fold Card

I'm not sure what to call this card as the one I found wasn't in English! I was surfing on Pinterest one day and found an amazing card!! Of coarse I re-pinned it for later cause I had to give it a try myself. The only problem is, its in another language and the measurements are in cm instead of inches. I really wanted to try the card so I printed out her template and tried to convert cm to inches. I made a card with my dimensions and I am fairly pleased with it.   I tried to go fairly simple on the front as the inside is a little bulky. I used a Mojo Monday sketch for the inspiration on for front of the card.  Sketch 319     For the inside I pretty much used her layout but just used different paper.  I am in the Holiday spirit so really wanted it to be a Christmas card.  I haven't used the specialty paper in the Winter Frost Specialty DSP yet so thought it would work perfectly.   She had a template designed, but of coa...

Christmas Cheer Gift Card Holder

     Last year I carried on my Mom's tradition of doing the 12 days of Christmas with my daughter. She had done it every year buy one since my daughter was about 2, I can't remember exactly when she started it... but I can't remember yesterday so... 😂 I decided instead of giving my 16 year old a bunch of stupid things she would likely never use and I would likely toss in the garbage before long, I would give her gift cards instead.  It was a great idea, it was a hit!      Her birthday is Boxing Day so we usually go shopping in the city seeing as it's still a pretty busy day for most families.  She was able to spend around $200-$250 in gift card money so it was all good!  I think doing it that way is a much better way of doing it, what do you think?      I thought I would get a head start on Gift Cards for this year as it is a great way to give a gift and still have the recipient have a choice in what to buy. I have a fe...
