Think inside the box

Recently I had a conversation with another team member saying I needed to think outside the box. Well, I got to thinking, what about the inside of the box?!

Hello all, I-team member Sonja here with a winter shadowbox I made using the JGW Build a Box file for my base box.

This set has three options of boxes. I decided I wanted to be able to poke some holes in the back to make a winter scene inside my box so I used the box with the open face. 

To start with, I needed to get some detailing done on my extra pieces. For this, I grabbed my Craftwell eBrush and got to work.

 It can also be used on glitter paper.

Then I just pulled everything together.

 There are 10 little lights in the background

 I added the little sleigh from the CG Nutcracker Dream set.

I left the top flap unsecured so that if the sleigh moved around, it could be adjusted.

Materials Used:
DCWV Winter Frost stack

SVG Attic JGW Build a Box and CG Nutcracker Dream

Silhouette Cameo 3

Silhouette Studios~Designer Edition

Craftwell eBrush

Sharpie Markers

Aleene's Original Tacky Glue

Memory Book with Tracy

A couple of weeks ago I shared a Memory box I created for the SVG Attic Design Team.  

Tracy here and today I want to show you the beautiful Memory Spiral Bound book I made to go with it.

The spiral bound book is part of the JGW Build A Box collection.  The book fits inside the box perfectly and the two together make a great gift!

A 6 mm spiral is used to bind the book and can be purchased at FedEx or found here in bulk.

For the outside of the book I used the Memories layered words and created one more layer to give it lots of dimension

Because I loved the lock on the box so much I decided to add the Victorian Key to the front of  the book

.

I cut the Eyelet Lace from matching cardstock, ran some twine through it and placed it on the cover with foam pop dots.

To finish the front cover,  I cut one more of the Dogwood flower clusters and added it to the Eyelet lace.

For the inside of the book, I cut squares and mats to fit inside.  These can be used as photo mats or journaling squares.

I was able to put 8 pages, decorated front and back into the spirals.

The back of the book is very simple and cut from the striped paper.  Love the colors and simplicity of it.

So pleased with the way this turned out.

Here is a photo of the book and the box together.  

In a couple of weeks we are going to Maine and I can't wait to fill both my box and book with  , keepsakes, photos and memories!

You can check out both projects on my blog

Memory Box with Tracy

Looking for a great way to store keepsakes or souvenirs?

 Tracy here from the Idea Closet and today is my turn to post with SVG Attic,
 I am so excited to share a great project that is the perfect answer to this question.

Check out this beautiful Memory box.

It is created with the files from the JGW Build a Box collection

There are a lot of options in the collection that make it possible to create all the details on the box.



The flowers are part of the collection and add the perfect touch.



Use Wood Doll Stands (found at Micheal's) to add feet to the box.
Paint them to match the paper.



Here is a side view.



The box has a magnetic closure, sturdy lid and bottom and lots of room to keep your pieces safe.

This project has lots of parts but if you follow Jodi's instructions here, it is pretty easy to understand.

I think I am addicted to these fun boxes and can't wait to make more.
