I used up all of the scraps in the Craft Warehouse GRAB BAG!

THIS WAS SUCH A FUN PROJECT!  I had scraps in the grab bag that I was wanting to make an album with, but how?  I sat and came up with this fun idea.  

I used what I had and made a sort of pyramid album with the pieces of papers that I had, and incorporated the die cuts as photo opportunities and pages.

I made 4 pages and used scraps to add pockets to hold the variety of cutaparts that I had.  The Heart die cuts will make great photo and journaling spots.

All of the pages have pockets that hold the gatefold sides closed.

Here is the album "opened" so you can see, it's loaded with space and it is so pretty!  Please come and see all of the fun in this one.

There is a lot of information in the videos description box, 

so please do check that out.

Thanks so much for watching.  Have a crafty day!

Let's use a CARD KIT to make a Baby File Box Album!

 Hi all! I was asked for a tutorial on how I made my recipe box, so I'm here to share it. The TWIST is that I made the box the same BUT used a partial card kit I got in a grab bag, and transformed it into a cute BABY ALBUM!! I wanted to show how versatile this little box can be.

All measurements are in the video, since there aren't many. I will go over everything in how to make this, including altering the paper in a Simple Stories Card Kit to cover this. It is so fun and a great way to repurpose your stash. This is a great stash buster, and fun to make. Videos I mention in this video: Craft Warehouse Grab Bag Share This is where I got the partial card kit, and several other items. 

Grab Bag Projects This features a new way to make the cards into a bigger size and I made two Never Ending Albums, all using card kits. 

Recipe Box Walk Through/Talk Through This is the recipe box that I shared first and what inspired this tutorial. Thank you so much for watching, and remember to always stay crafty, my friends! #craftfair #scrapbooking #stashbuster

Making Recipe Journals for my Craft Fair!

 As part of my #paperstashsmash project for April I am smashing this collection from Authentique called "Ingredients".  I made 6 recipe journals that I hope will sell well at my upcoming craft fair at the end of April.  I just love how they came out.

In the video I mention a lot of other videos including the inspiration for this project, and a previous projects of mine (with free tutorials!).  So please don't forget to check out the video's description, where I have a ton of links for you.

I have done another project using this paper and will share that soon.  I just love it so much!!  

Thanks for watching and have a very crafty day!
