Wedding Memory Keeper Box

Our DD is a bridesmaid this coming weekend for her grad school friend, so I decided to make the special couple a monogrammed memory keeper box to store their special paper items such as announcements, shower invitations, wedding invitation, and their wedding service.

They've chosen to have a black & white wedding color scheme, and the Silhouette papers are perfect for this project.

Blessings as you begin your married life together, Anthony and Tonya, and may you live and love more each day!

"Game On" Memory Keeper Box

I've been working on a few gift items, and here's one for our great-nephew who is a star soccer player. When I finish the coordinated 9 x 9 inch accompanying album, I'll post that too.

Though I hate to see summer come to an end too soon, I do enjoy the local Friday night football and soccer games, the cooler evenings, and the smell of Fall in the air.

I used Close To My Heart "Game On" Level 2 papers and Stickease along with pop-up foam squares, clear buttons, and waxy flax in Bamboo and Olive. I put star patterned paper behind the clear button on the magnetic lift-flap of the box.

I wish we could see Justin play a game--he's built for speed! He lives hundreds of miles away, and we have to be thankful for photos right now. Maybe someday...

Spring Stuff--Pails & Boxes

I'm thinking of ways to use CTMH papers and embellies to make these $1 Target pails fancy-pretty for some little girls' Easter surprises!

In the meantime, here are two more memory keeper boxes -- Emily helped me with the Sweet Pea box and accompanying album, and the simple blue box is for a future wedding. A photo needs to be added to the top to finish it.

Wonderful Sunday Workshop

Make a Smilebox slideshow Eight friends came to Sunday afternoon's memory keeper box and album workshop. Each person's project was so beautiful and unique. Each used a different packet of Close To My Heart papers: Boom-Di-Ada, Vintage Travel, Whoops-A-Daisy, Emporium, Magic Moments, Silhouette, Free Spirit, and Sweet Pea. Thank you, Hollie, Becca, Sandy, Linda, Kristin, Paula, Elaine, and Emily for being with me this afternoon! Special thanks to my upline, Deb, in Ohio for getting the new Idea Books to us for today!

X Box and Album

Here's a memory keeper box and a coordinating photo album for a young boy who likes trucks, cars, boats, and everything that moves! I repeated circles and dashes throughout the project and added some "all-boy" stamps and journaling pull-out cards.

I used the Close To My Heart box, album, Childhood Boy stamps, chocolate ribbon, autumn mini brads, chocolate photo clip, buttons, hemp, chocolate marker, and a chipboard X (inked with outdoor denim). Papers are from a local scrapbook store.

Unforgettable Gift Set

I used the CTMH "Unforgettable" Level 2 Paper Packet, Stickease, Fancy Cut Botanicals, Clear Sparkles, Sassy Strands, Square Window Charm, and a lot of Liquid Glass for these items--Close To My Heart's Memory Keeper Box, 9 x 9 inch accordion album, and birthday card.

Colors of papers and inks are Juniper, Sorbet, and Cocoa. Stamps are from the sets of Adorning Corners, Say It In Style, and Special Friendship. Ribbon is Sheer Elegance. The card design is a template in CTMH CEO Jeanette Lynton's Originals book.

This is a good example of how easy, fun, and simple CTMH products are to use!

Stardust

It's so much fun to play with the new papers from CTMH!

Here is Stardust on the memory keeper box and accordion album

that fits into the box.

I used the Stickease embellishments, lots of pop dots, Liquid Glass,

hemp, buttons, and pewter brads--it's ALL BOY.
