Harvest Fall Decor Blocks

These beautiful blocks were made using the Dreamin' paper packet and vinyl lettering over painted wood blocks. They look great as a home decor item and would also be a lovely gift!

My Creations Memory Game

I just love the endless possibilities of the blank canvas of the new My Creations Memory Game!

Make your own following these cutting directions:

Instructions for cutting paper to cover My Creations Memory Game box and cards:(Using two 12x12 B&T papers)

For the first B&T:
1. Cut two 3-1/8" strips from your 12x12 B&T
2. Cut one strip at 3-1/2", 3-1/2", 3-1/8 and 1-3/4" (these will be the sides, front, and flap)

3. Cut second strip at 3-1/2" and 3-1/8" (these will be for the top and back)
4. These pieces will cover your box (and you will have a piece of scrap)
Sides: 3-1/8" x 3-1/2"
Top: 3-1/8" x 3-1/2"
Back: 3-1/8" x 3-1/8"
Front: 3-1/8" x 3-1/8" (trimmed to fit)
Flap: 3-1/8" x 1-3/4" (trimmed to fit)
5. Cut them remaining B&T in half (you will have two strips 2-7/8" wide)
6. Cut these strips into 2-7/8" x 2-7/8" squares (you should have 8 squares to cover the inside cards with)
Note: I found this size to be the most economical with the paper and fits nicely on the cards. However you do end up with a bit of white around the edges which I just sponged to soften the transition from the paper to the white chipboard.

For the second B&T:
1. Cut into 2-7/8" strips
2. Cut these strips into 2-7/8" squares (you should have the remaining 16 squares to cover the inside cards)
