I have had a project like this on my mind for months and finally got around to working on it!! I am really happy with how it turned out... It is however the second attempt though! 😂 I mis-measured and had it practically together before I realized it so had to start over.

     Here is a look at how it looks empty so you can see the matting inside. It's just plain seeing as it will be full of projects so no need for anything fancy. It is just for me and as of yet there is no tutorial because I apparently can't measure so good 😂 some of the parts are a little crooked! I have been asked for a tutorial by a few crafters so I may think about doing one in time... what do you think?
     If you have been following me lately, you know I am all about the Bees 🐝! The slogan for the town I live in was changed a few years ago but it will always bee the same to me... The Land of Rape & Honey.
     I have already made a few Bee Themed projects but I have a ton of Bee paper left so have enough for many more projects! 3 of the Folios in the box are Bee themed already so as I make them, I may decide to get rid of other ones. 
     The DSP I used for this is a Retired Stampin' Up! collection called Golden Honey Specialty DSP. I have used it on a couple projects but still have 4 packages left... along with 4 packages of the Graphic 45 Let It Bee collection and the Photo Play Wild Honey collection. Of coarse these are all older collections so the only place to buy them now is likely buy and sells so I apologize if I make you want any with a project I have made using any of them.

😊 HappiCraftin' 😊

Fancy Fold Card

Image
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 coarse it was in her language and i

Recipe Book Box

Image
      So it seems August is Blog catch up month for me! I get crafting and forget to do the little things that I like to do to keep my fans updated!! My apologies!!  A look at 1 Recipe Page or Insert      This was supposed to be another Cinch Book but it seems I got a little carried away... AGAIN! I made it a few paged too big so it got WAY to chunky to be bound! So... I am going to make a box to house it and a couple extra inserts and recipe cards.       I made 6 pages or inserts now and each one has spots for 26 recipe cards, 4 of which are digitally added with the digital collection I used. The Grandma's Pantry Collection my Nitwit Collections. If you choose to make the project as I did, you will have a recipe box that will hold at least 154 special recipes.       I have a few ideas rolling around in my head for the box part of this project so hopefully I can get at it soon so I can post it. I'm certain I will like how it turns out in the end 😊      I have kept a few spots
