Boxed Memories

Boxed Memories
By Margaret Ann Moffat

I love to be thrifty and go through charity shops (thrift stores) and came across some old VHS cases and thought oooh I can use that, so I decided to see if I could convert it into a mini album.  It was sooo much fun.

I used the Kaisercraft Enchanted Garden Bundle  And the Enchanted Garden 6 1/2 x 6 1/2" Pad

along with some May Arts  ribbon trim.  I love the soft colours in this collection and the name called to me as well lol.

I have such a big stash and thought I had better use some of it so I included some charms that came from one the charm bags from Scrapadabadoo I received some time ago.  Fairies and mushrooms were in it so they fit with the theme of the book very well.

On the spine of the box I made an accordion fold to hold 3 envelopes 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" and folded tags to insert. The die I used is Cottage Cutz Wishing well . I love this die as it has lots of areas to alter. I used the brickwork part of it as a stencil with modelling paste. I am sure I will someday use  the wee bucket beside a cottage door, and the bottom of the well can be extended as a wall. I do like to make the most of the things I have and to use them in different ways.

This was a fun mini to make and quick to complete.  Please visit my blog to see further pictures.

Be sure and visit again especially Thursday where the delightful Wendy will be posting her first DT design.
