She'll make me sweet things like this out of the clear blue sky...isn't she sweet to do that? Thanks Sue for your great heart of giving! She said she got the box idea at splitcoast stampers... so I looked it up to find the link for those of you that may want to make one also. Click here on this link, it's called the "Origami Box.
And that cute little girl stamp, Tilda, she used on the top of the box...well, because I don't have any of these stamps, Sue let me stamp some images from her collection...so I would have some to "play" with...how sweet is that? RAK!!...that's what Sue is very good at, huh? Later on I'll be posting what I did with one of those Tilda stamps. Thanks for dropping by stampers!

Thanks for visiting. May you have a blessed and peacful day!
-Take 4 herbal tea bags. Make a small slit on each bag and empty the tea inside. (Leaves a nice fragrance.) Set aside for now.
-Cut 8 pieces of patterned paper, 2-1/4"x 2-1/8". These will be your album pages.
-Machine stitch a border on each piece of paper.
-Stamp and embellish each piece of paper.
-Adhere the 8 decorated pages on top of the 4 teabags (front and back, of course) using paper glue.
-Sew or machine-stitch the 4 decorated tea bags together to form the album.
-To form tabs, staple a piece of ribbon to the edge of each of the last 3 pages.
TIP: I then embellished the ribbon tabs with the small flowers I found at the bottom of my patterned paper, you know, the "color-code" strip. Just punch them out with a 1/2" circle punch. See picture below to see what I'm referring to:
TIP: to cover the staples used to adhere the ribbon tab, I just adhered a paper flower or embellishment on top of the staple. See picture below. I don't know if I like the "stapled" look yet.
To complete my Tea Bag Mini Album, I will fill it up with my favorite pictures! That's all there is to it! Give it a try and link some pictures to this post. Oh yes, this tutorial is also on Inspirational Techniques and Tutorials Blogs...visit me there... Thanks for dropping by.
