One Sheet Mini Albums

Inspired by this very nice pdf sheet from Maymay Made It blog I have had the nicest time getting re-
acquainted with felxagon books.  Check out Maymay's blog or you can watch her make a sample of one of these books on Youtube. The segment is called, On Sheet Mini Albums.




Maymay  has done a great job with these directions if you want to save a lot of time cutting the layers 
for your
little book.  Mine is done and awaiting some decorating.  So far I have not deviated with the directions from Mayday .  I get a big kick out of folding it up into a nice and tidy little book.  Check on Pinterest for endless ideas for making and decorating little books.
Carol Duval's new craft book called, Paper Crafting with Carol Duval has samples for little one page books.  MISS YOU CAROL!

Lawn Fawn shadow box die


This little box is from Lawn Fawn and it so easy to assemble.  For this Halloween card for my grandchildren I added a little pocket in the back of the card for some spending money.  The box lays flat for mailing,  The little trick or treaters are from Lawn Fawn also and were colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Pens.    The spider web is from Cricut which I still love to use!  The directions for the box are on Pinterest and YouTube in case you do not have access to the Lawn Fawn dies.  Paper Boutique in Springfield, Illinois has a full collection of these dies and is happy to do mail order.  This card fits in to an A4 envelope or the invitation envelopes that are available from Walmart.

This is what the box looks like when flattened for sending through the mail.
