Crocheted and Knitted work from my mom and me...

A book I designed for a Day book swap

Folded pocket mini book page

I wanted to make a mini book page with the least amount of waste possible with the pages using an 8.5 x 11 sheet of scrapbook paper or cardstock...this is what I came up with...

 Easy step by step for each page and make as many pages as needed for your books...

Plain cardstock, pattern paper or a combination of both will make wonderful book pages

This book can be bound with a variety of methods...but since I have a bind it all, I chose it for this book

Mini Milk Carton Party/Treat/Favor Boxes

 This design makes 2 boxes from each sheet of 8.5 x 11 cardstock...with no waste...They are fast and easy to make and would be great for any party, celebration, event setting, where a little take home "goodie/giftie" is needed...Use the diagram above for scoring and cutting the design...

 Use this diagram for creasing the scored lines, folded in the direction they need to go for putting the box together...

 Completed box, held closed with a colored paper clip...how cool is that...

 These two boxes show some "foo foo" added to embellish and decorate the boxes...

Imagine the possibilities with colored cardstock, patterned cardstock or just decorate with rubber stamps, paints, ink, etc, before putting the boxes together...
Perfect little favor boxes, for birthday, Valentine, office party, baby shower, wedding shower, Over the Hill...any Holiday...Jelly beans for Easter, Heart candy for Valentines, Candy corn for the Fall parties...remember, YOU are only Limited by your Imagination...
Each box is 2 inches by 3.5 inches tall when put together...

ATC's cut from white mat board, hand drawn and painted using Derwent Inktense Pencils...these art pencils are amazing...Will be doing some more experiments soon...but had to share these for now...Original art by me...
