Key To My Heart Memory Showcase Box

Here is a Memory Showcase box which I made some time ago - I LOVE this paper - absolutely beautiful and it is such a shame that it is no longer available :O( But I thought I would share it anyway. I added Sorbet and Cocoa exclusive inks and used a Sorbet Exclusive Marker to color in the edges. I find, when I make these boxes, that it is easier to cut the paper and cardstock slightly smaller than the actual box and use markers and ink pads to distress the box itself. The flower at the top of the journalling area is actually 3 hearts and then embellished with cocoa ribbon.

Again I used the hearts and layered them at the edge of the title piece and used 3D foam squares to give dimension. Again Cocoa ribbon adds texture.

On this side panel of the box I embossed the key in Silver Embossing powder on a separate piece of cardstock and then cut it out and added it so that it looks like it is about to go into the key hole :O)

Capri

Here I used a Perfect Day level 1 kit and added ribbon and then added circle window charms over the level 1 stickease. I also used the letters to type the word Capri.

9x9 Memory Showcase Travel Box

Here is another fun box which I made using the Route 66 Level 2 paper pack and matching My Stickease - I made the tire tracks on the title by running one of my sons mini monster trucks over my Desert Sand exclusive ink pad and then running across the cardstock - a fun look.

Here are the contents of the box - all needed to stop my 2 boys from killing each other on a long road trip :O)

I added more cardstock and paper to the front of some of the items in the box to make them match - the boys were thrilled with this :O)

9x9 Memory showcase box and album

Here is a 9x9 Memory showcase box and album which I made of my daughter Robyn's senior year in the Walled Lake Central Marching Band

This shows the top of the box - I used the Game on paper and black organdy and twill ribbon to decorate. Loved using the silver hinge as a detail. The word 'Laugh' is one of the CTMH rub-ons. I added Sunflower cardstock as this is one of the WLCHS colors.

This shows the front of the matching 9x9 album - the largest circle on the tag is white cardstock which I have heavily embossed using the gold embossing powder. A photo hanger and more ribbon adds extra dimension as does the photo clip. The words were typed using the CTMH 'Expressives' font CD.

I used the Dimensional Element letters covered in the Game on B&T for the letter W of work and embossed the word Hard - again using Gold embossing powder. I did the same thing for the Dimensional Element arrows.

This is the last page of the album - I did add ribbon to it to make 'hinges' so that it opened like a book.

I hid the journalling under the words 'Play hard' and attached hinges to the title to make it open.

Sitting quietly

I am sitting here by my Christmas tree - the house is all quiet - everyone is asleep - yes even the dogs - I can hear Yogi snoring from here ! I have caught up with most of my emails, input 6 orders, processed credit cards until my eyes have crossed. But I am done.
It has been a crazy 8 days and it is going to get crazier yet as I am working every day and some evenings until Saturday afternoon. I have made the decision to spend Sunday 22nd (my day off) in my pajamas in front of the TV doing absolutely NOTHING !
Well........ that probably won't happen because my paper and stamps will be nearby and I may just do some more of my Cruise album scrapbooking. I have filled the 1st album and have started on album number 2! Soooo much fun to be shared with you all.
Well I am about to call it a day and head off to bed myself - sleep well everyone and God bless x
