At first glance this may look like a gift box. After all, it's got four sides, attractive designer paper and a pretty bow. It's square shape could conceal any number of gifts. Not this time. Take a look-see here:
As I was poking around Splitcoast Stampers tonight, I came across this adorable "explosion scrapbook box." And I immediately thought: "I can do that." I seem to be in a scrapbook mood lately (and I'm not even a scrapbooker). I guess it's because I've got those nieces and nephews graduating from college and high school this year. I keep thinking about the days when they were cute little babies and all they wanted was to snuggle on auntie's lap. Now, they want full-time employment and I can't help them with that!
And so I keep thinking about capturing those baby-moments (and their growing-up moments) in scrapbook pages. I'm not sure that I'll be making these pages for their benefit or mine, but I know I'll enjoy taking the trip down memory lane.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have time to stamp today.
What a terrific project, enjoy your trip. I find myself doing that with my girls already and they are only 3 & 6!
ReplyDeleteNice project! I've been meaning to make one of these for a couple of years now. Maybe I should try it now and add it to some mother's day gifts.
