been busying making kits!

I have been getting into the holiday spirit already by working on some new kits that will be available very soon on the website.  I thought I would give you a sneak peak at them.  

This kit is a smaller banner project perfect for hanging for the holidays.  It comes with enough red ribbon to hang.   It is also a perfect size to add across your scrapbook pages for a holiday title.

And have I shown you the new Stocking Kit?  This kit includes silver ribbon to hang the stockings and will also be available soon.  

So until next week, Happy Scrapping!

another sneak peak???

Well, another Monday sneaked by me so thought I would give you a sneak peak of another kit I have been working on.  

You would not think it with all the Christmas decorations in the stores, but Halloween is coming soon.  This banner is perfect to hang for celebrating the spooky day.  There are two options for the banner.  You can spell out Halloween, or make two smaller banners and spell out Boo and Spooky.

 

This kit includes ribbon to string the pennants together, but to fit all the letters in the photo, I had to overlap each a little.  But I hope you still are able to see how bright and fun this banner is.

Watch for this kit coming your way soon on www.boxerscrapbooks.com!

So until next time, Happy Scrapping.

Laura

What have I been up to?  I have been working on a brand new kit that Boxer Scrapbooks will have available at the San Marcos Creating Keepsakes Convention next week.  

It is a Christmas Advent Calendar.  These treasure boxes come with 24 small boxes that fit into the cubbies and then the center is a perfect shadow box for the dimensional embellishments.  These boxes are so fun and easy to make.  I just had to share...

There is also a Summer Treasure Box kit available too.  

Hope you enjoy them.  I definitely love how they turned out. 

Watch www.boxerscrapbooks.com for availability of the Advent kit and the Summer kit is available now.

Ladybug Chipboard album

The circle chipboard album makes a perfect Ladybug.  I used pre-cut album pages in red and black to create the front cover and added black buttons for the spots.  Then I used a black page for the back cover.  For the smaller ladybugs inside the album, I used circle punches and black mini brads.  Simply cut the red circles in half and spread for the wings.  Then glue over a black circle and add mini brads.  Use a smaller black circle and glue behind the larger black circle to create the head of the ladybug.  If you have a Coluzzle Cutting System, this works well also for the photo mats and papers to cover the pages.  Additional chipboard pages can be added or even use white pre-cut album pages for the inside pages.

Supplies:

Ladybugs and Daisies, Yellow Gingham, Small Red Dot paper, Black and Red pre-cut album pages, Round Chipboard Album, black button mix, black mini brads, red and black grosgrain, Zip Dry

Additional  supplies: Black ink pad, black pen, glue dots, 3-D squares, Circle punches, red and black cardstock.






Happy Scrapping!

Chipboard mini album/desk art

In need of a quick, fun, and easy gift idea? Mini albums that can also be used as a freestanding desk art are a fun idea.
