ATC Box

Happy Weekend Everyone!

I was asked by a friend if I could make a box to fit ATC cards... Of course I can :o) I seem to be doing good at coming up with measurements so far and I love all of the different sizes! Thank you to all of those who asked for them and had the great ideas to start off with! I just did all of the measuring and it is worth it. These are so easy and fun and they just turn out so darn cute!

Here is my latest video tutorial and links to all of the other boxes, Enjoy!



Have a fabulous weekend all!

Writing Journal

So Caleb's homework assignment this weekend was to bring home one of his composition notebooks and decorate it  for his writing journal. We needed to keep it very simple and flat due to wear and tear :o) Oh the things we could have done! I think it is still cute and way better than the way it looked before. Caleb picked out the papers and I went to work. I printed the "Caleb's Writing Journal" from my computer using one of my favorite fonts Bradley Hand at 36 pts in Bold, inked around it with some Memento Rich Cocoa and matted it on a piece of Recollections red cardstock, same cardstock was used for the spine along with some brown ribbon. The monkey paper came from a stack from Hobby Lobby called Cheekee Monkey, love that name! Fits Caleb perfectly with his love of monkeys, and he acts like one :o) The monkey faces are glossy!

Here is the finished notebook...


Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!
All four of my boys will be back in school starting tomorrow :o)

Hugs!
