Hi all and welcome back! I have a project that has taken a while to do but so worth it. I created a recipe album with Carta Bella's "Roll With It" collection and you are going to love it. I made it big and it is full of pockets so that you can add memories, pictures, recipes...it will be a keepsake for your family for many many years to come. This album is 7 3/4 x 8 1/2, has a 3 1/2" spine, and has 6 pages total. There is plenty of room to add many photos and recipes. In the video's description box I will have a list of videos I mention in the tutorial, a cut guide for chipboard and cardstock (the measurements for the patterned papers will be discussed in the tutorial), and links to products that I used for the project. Thanks so much for watching!!! If you have any questions please let me know because I am always available to help if you needed it.

Country Craft Creations Design Team Project, Sweater Weather Accordion Box with Goodies!
I had a few leftovers that I had to use up and so I came up with this fun little project I hope you like. This is an accordion box full of fun goodies using the leftovers from my previous tutorial. It measures 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 and has a 3" base. This doesn't take a whole lot of cardstock, only 2 sheets. I used Coffee Brown Artisan cardstock for the base. I used a little Natural Artisan for photo mats. I used scraps, but probably no more than two sheets. Everything else is from patterned paper scraps. I hope you like it! The link to my design team haul video The link to the full album walk through for my first project The link to the album tutorial The products I received are below: Echo Park, Sweater Weather Echo Park Wood Grain, 6x6 paper pad Uniquely Creative:I used these during my album tutorial Accordion Album Place Photo Stamp Buttons Galore and More

Pamphlet Junk Journals
I love this project. I used up a bunch of ephemera paper packs that have been in my stash for YEARS! I got them from a store that hasn’t been in business in a very long time (and I’m sad about it) and finally decided enough was enough and I needed to use it or lose it.

Calendar Box Tutorial and Hanging Calendar Version, A Bonus Country Craft Creations Design Team Project
Then I was asked by a fellow CCC member, Jenny, to come up with a box to put calendars in, with an easel of some sort, specifically for a 6 x 6 calendar. The calendar size taught is 8 x 8. So my creativity kicked in, and I made a box for an 8 x 8 AND a 6 x 6 version. This tutorial will show you ALL of these options...two box sizes and how I made it into a hanging calendar.
I can not teach the actual Quilt Calendar tutorial. For that, you must be a member of the Country Craft Creations Facebook group to access that video. So please check it out, the information and link is below. Country Craft Creations is an amazing online community. Visit the store here. We have an amazing Facebook Community as well, so please check it out... I also have a printable for the 2025 calendar that I designed for myself. You can access this in the link below. PLEASE BE AWARE...This printable worked for my computer and my printers (I tried it on two of the printers I have) and how I describe to cut them in the tutorial worked for me. Please test and check your printable to make sure the measurements and cutting is accurate. I had to ensure I printed at 100%. Please Check your settings. Make a practice page by only printing one page to start. I also recommend that you download the PDF file and then try to print, as it did not work correctly just printing from Google Drive. I used a total of 14 different Country Craft Creations exclusive papers to make these calendars and will name them all in the video. I was able to make them all with scraps leftover from previous projects. The link for all of the papers is here, and you can find them here. If they are sold out they will be reprinted, so please check back. Artisan cardstock, 100 lb, is what I used for the boxes, it and all of the other colors of Artisan can be found here.
Here is the cardstock cutting list. The scoring and measurements for patterned paper is in the video. Box for 8 x 8 Calendars: Easel/Tray 1 - 11 x 8 1 - 3 x 6 Box 2 - 12 x 9 Box for 6 x 6 Calendars: Easel/Tray 1 - 11 x 8 Box 2 - 10 7/8 x 7 Hanging Version of an 8 x 8 Calendar Tab Dies from Scrap Diva measured approximately 2 3/8 x 2 before folded, I made 13 total Backing cardstock measured 7 7/8 x 7 7/8, I used a total of 13 of these Photo Corners, 24 pieces of cardstock at 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 Calendar printouts cut at 7 3/4 x 7 3/4 I know this is a lot of information. I hope that you join our group and create a calendar for your own. They are so much fun and so beautiful! Stay crafty, my friends!
