Gone Fishin'

Here's a special project that I made for a friend who gave me shelter on a trip to the States. A fitting tribute to a crazy couple who brought me on my first ever fishing trip. So here it is...the Gone Fishin' photo album and keepsake tackle box.

 

This project was inspired by Tim Coffey's beach and fishing themed paper collection from K & Company. The outer box is designed to look like a wooden fishing tackle box. The inside of the lid contains vintage themed handmade fishing tools and lures. The inner lure tray lifts out to reveal a paper bag photo album.

This project has tonnes of space for photos, journalling and all of those special keepsakes. It sits perfectly as a home decor piece and has lots of interesting features. It makes an ideal gift for anyone with a keen interest in fishing. Perfect for birthdays and even for Fathers Day!

The tutorial is 71 pages and easy to follow. It contains a list of all the materials and measurements you will need to recreate this project.

Rock-a-Bye baby

Proudly presenting my very first paper craft design project! Here is the "Rock-a-Bye Baby" Album and Keepsake box. 

This project was inspired by the Graphic 45 "Little Darlings" paper collection and my love all things vintage and distressed. It has a simple 2 drawer construction. The top box houses the album to hold all those special first photos. The second larger drawer has plenty of room to store those special trinkets.

The top of the box is playfully decorated to look like a nursery room, complete with a rockng chair and changing table. It's not just functional...it's decorative too!

This tutorial is easy to follow and jam packed to get the most out of this paper collection. It can easily be reversed and made for a girl using the same paper collection.
