special boxes for secret stashes

this beautiful little cube was constructed with book board and lovely printed paper. I made 4 box types total in a tiny boxes workshop this weekend: cigar, matchbox and a portfolio, as well as the cube with separating lid.

I love tiny boxes

Worked all day making tiny box forms with Jody Williams. What a fab geek out crafty lady kind of day.

Sample Book

I recently started a sample book if papers that I have made this year. Each signature in this accordion book holds a group of papers and a description page.
