Just in time for your new year’s gifts, an easy, fun and inexpensive gift box you can make yourselves from only one sheet of cardstock! Here is a sketch with all the measurements: 1. Cut a square 10 5/8″ by 7″ from one sheet of cardstock. 2. Mark a divide line 5″ from the top. This line divides the square to two squares A and B. 3. Cut 1/2″ from both sides of square A. This would make it smaller than square B. 4. Make four fold lines 1″ from all three edges of square A and the divide line. 5. Cut slits where lines marked red on the sketch. 6.

This is another DT layout for My Punch’s Kit of the Month Club. I really like this layout because it has in it one of my favorite things in scrapbooking: a scene. The scene has a magical atmosphere about it, mainly because the image of the girl (me) blends effectively into the background and seems to be part of the paper. This look is very easy to achieve: 1. Find a photo where the image has clean lines that will be easy to cut. In my case I had to find an image of a person sitting, because I wanted to use the bench on the layout. 2. If you put the image on something, like in my case, a bench, make sure that the sizes fit. Cut the image. 3. Build the scene. I stamped a street light and added grass from a blue ribbon and flowers. 4. Add a title. The Hebrew journaling sais: when you have creativity …

A holiday is a great opportunity to give someone you love flowers from your heart. It can be a wonderful bouquet of flowers or it can be flowers made from heart shaped punches. All you need to do is cut or punch different size hearts and assemble them in flowers shape. Use them to embellish a card or a gift and there you have it…flowers from your heart! Have fun creating!

I wanted to share with you my layout that was recently published on the Prima blog as part of the Build-A-Page contest. I wanted forever to send one of my layouts to the BAP contest, but I never had the time. Finally, last October I found the time to sit down and create a page according to the sketch. I guess they liked it over there at Prima. This is a layout I made with one of my son’s favorite photos. I don’t have a lot of photos of him smiling like that, so this photo is really precious. I didn’t forget our winners! The winner of Day 12 of the Blog party is…Candice! Our grand prize goes to…Salina! Congratulations! Please email me your details. Thanks again to everyone who participated in the blog party, it was really fun! Have fun creating! Einat
