I made this box for my daughter so that she has a place to hold her cards and other personal items. I started with a plain white My Creations Keepsake Box. I applied a very adorable patterned paper from Archivers I bought last fall. Then I painted a chip board frame pink. While it dried I used the cricut to cut out letters that sell her name SKYLAR. Once the frame was dried I put it all together adding gem embellishments. It turned out really cute and she loved it!
I have always loved pictures even as a young child. I had a grandmother that kept a very organized set of photo albums. When I visited her I would sit for hours going through every single album. I especially loved the pictures of my parents when they were young and falling in love. (awww). So I think my initial interest in scrapbooking really had to do with my love for pictures and memories. When I first started scrapbooking I was very unsure what to do or where to start. I felt clumsy of course but I kept with it. I really have to give a lot of credit to my neighbor and friend because she introduced me to crops and she has also taught me so much about it. I think going to crops really sealed the deal for me. I just love being with other terrific gals that share my love for preserving memories. There are many things I love about scrapbooking….I love the supplies…paper, stamps, stickers….I really love coordinating kits too..I love organizing all my photos and deciding how I am going to preserve the memories…I love gathering with others and scrapbooking with them….they inspire me and teach me. I Heart Everything about Scrapbooking! :)
