Scrapbook in a Box

To begin, you will need to gather these supplies: A small box with lid (the one shown here is a 4 inch paper mache box found at a retail craft store), double stick tape or photo tape, two sheets of 12x12 inch scrapbook paper, 1 or 2 sheets of 8 ½ x11 inch scrapbook cardstock, and basic tools such as scissors, a 12 inch trimmer, a ruler, a pencil, and a corner rounder punch. You will also want a few embellishments that coordinate with your patterned paper such as ribbon, buttons, brads, or flowers.
