Origami Gift Box and Slam Book

I made this Origami gift boxes and Slam book for my mother-in law's 60th birthday.The box was called origami but it didn't have any folds only measuring ,scoring and cutting. Its a 3" inch square box so we were able to fill  it with chocolate and a small gift.

Slam book was very elegant and everything was made from the scratch. The cover was made from the cereal box cardboard and embellished with chipboard shapes and rhinestones. One more thing which I enjoyed doing was binding this book together. I used We R Memory Keepers The Cinch 2 for the first time and it turned out perfect on the first try itself so its that easy to use. Both the items were simple and neat very apt for the occasion.

Scrapbook Album Cover

I wanted to create a srapbook album for My Happy Moments. It took me couple of weeks to go over all the digital photos and then select my favorite ones (somewhere around 300 photos). I chose a Black Handmade paper album so that my pictures will pop out....decorated only the album cover, rest of the pages are filled with pictures of my most cherished moments during the 14 years of my married life.

Handmade flowers with pearlescent paper, leaves are some Cheerylynn designs and the rosettes were made from 3/4 " and 1" strips. Sprinkled with glitter, added some pearl and rhinestones. Atlast I coated them with Mod Podge Glue for long-lasting.
