Big Top Blog Hop

Welcome to my stop on Club Scrap's Big Top Blog Hop.

Today I've whipped up my own variation of a matchbox book. It's slightly larger than your standard matchbox measuring 3.25x5", but the inside resembles and works like a matchbox.

I'm going to let the pictures do the talking . . .







Wrapped matte board is used for the front, back and spine covers. 



Folded Big Top papers form the matchbox on the inside.




With the box being 3/4" deep, I have room for a mini album or just odds and ends inside. (If things weren't such a circus around here, I'd already have that mini album made!)




What a fun way to use the Big Top papers and stamps!

Next on the hop is Annette at Digital Musings.

Wishing you a creative day,
Kay

    1. Oh I love the card box idea Josette, my mind didn't even go there. Cards made using the Big Top collection would be so sweet in here. Thank you for taking the time to mention that.

    1. Great idea Pam, I don't have any personal pictures or things actually attached to it so I can use it for a gift. I'd like receiving it, I hope Marilee's piano teacher does too.

  13. Would also make really cute Christmas ornaments or...if you were feeling super ambitious you could make up 25 of them and attach them to book board and have a do-it yourself advent calendar with a little prize in each one!
