Outside the card project

Hi ladies - how about a project?  In fact, how about an easy project?  Julia Aston, one of my fellow Paper Dolls is so creative with her projects that I wanted to find one to make!!  Here is what I did - and the best part?  It took only about 30 minutes!!
I also found in blogland using your white gel pen (I use Signo) to highlight.  I love the effect of this!
Here are some quick directions - again, thanks to Julia.  I just love your ABC projects and I am glad I made this.  I still haven't figure out what I will use it for but it even looks good empty!  LOL

"You start with a 10 1/4" x 7 1/2" piece of cardstock. Holding the short edge against the top ruler on your Scor Pal, move the left edge of the cardstock over to the 1/4" mark, then score at 3" and 5".

Turn the paper so the long side is against the top ruler and score at 2". Slide the cardstock to the right so the right edge is all the way over at 12 and score at 10".

Cut on the score lines and trim a little bit off of the center pieces so it folds up easier.
Attach Scor Tape to the edges and fold up your box!  For visual see Julia's Tutorial


No card for the SCS DD challenges.  Just didn't feel like making a card..  Thanks for stopping by..

What a wonderful project! Perfect recipe holder or a place to put punched out or coloured images you haven't used on a project.
