Sweet Treats 3D Box for Organization

This is a short How-To video on making a 3D box to hold some of my itty bitties from my dry erase board.  I have been working on downsizing my studio from 2 rooms back down to 1 room.  That is a big chore but it will be worth it in the end.
Here is my dry erase board, my Grandkids love to play and draw all over it.  Sadly it has to go to make room for my Ikea Kaylex unit that I have in the other room.

These are the 2 Kaylex units that I will be putting in the other room Ugh!  Lots of rearranging and organizing going on.  Purging is a good thing to do often not just once in awhile.  Lol!  Note to self.

Here are the boxes that I made.  I will probably make more.  The finished size is 5 x 5 x 3  They ended up the perfect size for what I needed.

Here is the video.

Thanks for stopping by!

Be Mine, Valentine

Here is a Valentine's card using the Chelsea Garden G1149 Workshop Your Way Scrapbooking kit.  I used 3 sheets from the WYW for this card.  I was able to make 12 cards with what I cut out.

Here are the papers that I used that gave me 6 different looks because of the double sided paper.

I separated all the hearts by size in little containers and put them in descending order.  That way everything was easily accessible and I didn't have to guess which one was which.  I then started to arrange them on my card.  After I found the placement that I liked I then arranged my containers with the different heart in the order that I put them on the card and that helped speed up my process. 
 Then I did all 12 one after the other.

Next I got my Stamp set the I wanted to use which was the Stamp Of The Month for January 2018 S1701 Adore You.  

I liked the flower swag the heart and Be mine, Valentine.  After making one with the swag I didn't like it so I just used the Heart.

It still need a little something more so I cut out just one of the medium sized hearts in a paper from my stash.  We always need to use up our stash!  LOL and this was a great way to do that.  This was from the paper pack Heartstrings now discontinued.  Of course there will be some bling added too!

I have a box of bling that sets on my table for easy access.  I put all of my bling that is partly used up in it and I try to use that up first before opening up anything new.  I found some bitty sparkles and some red gems that would go nicely.

I added my sentiment of Be mine, Valentine. to the front and then popped up the red heart with 3D foam tape and placed it on the card.  

I liked how it turned out but next time I would place another piece of colored cardstock on top of the white card then put the hearts on.  Don't know what I was thinking, Oh well next time!  There is always room for improvement in everything we do.  Right!
