Here's the link to Amy Celona's projects page, but she says step-by-step instructions for the "Gift Memory Box" won't be available until after the August class:

Thanks very much Linda, I'm sure they'll be posted then, and we can all figure out how to create this lovely box!

If you look closely at the picture, you can see that each sheet of paper is cut down a bit smaller than the first. Then, you will see that the pages are cut into a "cross" shape --- sort of like the Red Cross symbol -- all equal sides.

So, try this first with SCRATCH PAPER to get the dimensions you want. (you may like to have them even smaller inside)
Take the first sheet of 12 by 12 paper and cut out a 4 inch square from each corner.
Make the next sheet 11.25 by 11.25. Cut out a 3.75 inch square from each corner.
Next sheet cut to 10.5 by 10.5. Cut out a 3.5 inch square from each corner.

Now score the "flaps" for folding; stack up all three pieces; decorate each flap as you like -- picture frames, stamps, embellishments, etc.

Hope this works for you!

Again start with SRATCH PAPER. Cut square 7 by 7 inches. Score and fold a line 1.5 inches in from each side. You will have a 4 inch outlined square in the center. Score and fold a diagonal line from the corner of the center square to the corner of the paper. Fold everything "sharply." Punch holes for the cord about three quarters inch from edges.
