Crayon Memory Box #2

This box was made for Ryan's 2 year old cousin, Andrew, who loves tractors and dirt!  Again, the original design is by Laura Denison of Following the Paper Trail.

Crayon Memory Box #1

This project accompanied the giraffe baby card in yesterday's post.  The original design is by Laura Denison at Following the Paper Trail.  This box is just like a box of 64 Crayola crayons!  This one is made with 12 inserts so Ryan's mom can add photos and memories from Ryan's first year.  I also gave Ryan's mom a bunch of matching photo mats and pre-stamped sentiments to add to the inserts.

Due to UStream's limit on video storage for broadcasters, many Ustream videos were erased by Ustream, and I am unable to find the link to Laura's Crayon Memory Box video.

Fun Giraffe

First, thanks to katstamps65 on SplitCoastStampers for the original idea for this card - it was so much fun to make!  I made two versions of this card: one is a birthday card, the other is a baby card.

(I didn't notice until now that the right edge of the blue baby card got cut off by accident when I edited the photo!)
