I originally made this project about 3 years ago and used it as Mother’s Day gifts that year and for a swap at convention. It is still one of my most favorite projects and since it has been several years since I have made one I decided to revisit my Scrapbook in a Box project. This one features the new Elements of Style stamp set that will be available in the Stampin’ Up! Summer Mini Catalog that begins on May 1st.
If you follow my blog you know that right now I am doing a lot of bird watching – I currently have 4 nests in my yard – and I have been taking lots of pictures of the birds these last couple of months. So I decided that was what my scrapbook was going to feature. And I LOVE how it turned out!
I have written a tutorial on how to create this Scrapbook in a Box – so hop on over to the Create with Connie & Mary to download this tutorial for FREE. And to see what the inside of the box looks like – I just love it!
I’m so glad you stopped by today – I can’t wait to CREATE more projects for you! Don’t forget to leave a comment for a chance to win a FREE subscription!
I’m a Guest Designer at Create with Connie & Mary: Summer Edition going on now – don’t miss out!
I’m also a princess on the Royal Blog Tour: April 30 – May 3rd – visit my blog to take the Royal Tour.
Thanks for the chance to win!

Speaking of bird watching – have you ever checked out
http://www.phoebeallens.com ? It’s live cam of a channel allens hummingbird in California – she lays eggs the size of tic tacs – she just laid her second egg on Saturday so we are all anxiously awaiting to see if these become babies this time (the last three time didn’t result in babies and it was somewhat traumatic for me to watch so be warned LOL)……
