Create an Adorable Photo Box with Laura

Hello! I'm Laura Balboa and this is my first guest post on the Crate Paper blog. Working with Crate Paper design team is truly a dream come true. When you have a dream and work hard to achieve it, it'll come true.

Today, I am here to show you my first project which will help you get to know me a bit. I am very nervous, but I will try to put my nerves aside and explain my first project well. Even though English is not an easy language for me, I hope you understand and like my project!

This box represents who I am, what I do and what I like the most. I have used the Magical Forest collection and it is a very simple project to do.

First, I created the box with cardboard and lined it with cardstock. Then I covered it with a decorated paper. Next, I lined it on the inside with another paper.

To close the box I have cut 4 pieces of cardboard to fit the base and the lid. I used another decorated paper and glued it to the base of the box. After that, I decorated the entire box with die cuts and alphabet stickers from the collection.

I decorate the box with one of the wooden animal clips, which I will also use to place photos!

To finish the project, I created 6 “Polaroid” photos. I made them with 3 layers of white cardstock to add dimension. Next, I decorated them and captured in them what I am like, what I am passionate about and what identifies me: happiness, friendship, love, family, photography and scrapbooking.

This is me! These are the projects that I am passionate about and working with Magical Forest is really simple. The collection is adorable! Here is a video you can watch too to learn how to make your own!
