All week long we've shared with you summery ideas for using the Echo Park Paper Splash Collection.
The Splash kit is filled with fun summer prints, stickers, diecuts and more!
Today's projects hold special summer keepsakes. Those special memories of days at the beach, trips to the local snow cone stand, playing outdoors and much more!
Both Lisa and Grace found unique and special ways to preserve those memories with GlueArts Adhesives and Echo Park's Splash Collection!

Step 2: Adhere a 4x6 piece of paper to the front of one piece of the chipboard, using PermaTac. Then add some U-Cut It foam to the back of some stickers to add to the cover.
Step 3: Adhere your foam stickers to the cover. Add a title and eyelets in the holes.
Note: I planned on adding a bunch of pictures and journaling to the inside of my mini to highlight our summer memories, but my photo printer broke last night. I'll have to add those later.
Step 4: Print off your journaling tags and adhere to the inside right page of your mini. On this first page I cut out some fish and adhered them to the bottom of the journaling page with Glue Arts Raisens.

Summer Memories Box and Mini
GlueArts Designer: Grace Tolman
Pin ItSometimes we just need a memory box to preserve our wonderful summer memories. Today I want to share with you an easy altered recycled box that will hold your precious memories of the season. I also added a mini to the project so that the memories will be preserved in words as well.
Supplies:
Glue Arts Perma Tac
Glue Arts U Cut it Foam
Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares
Cardstock- The Paper Studio
Pattern papers and stickers- Splash, Echo Park
Border punch- Fiskars
Baker’s twine- Papertreats.etsy.com
Raindonts- Cloud 9 DesignBox- recycled chocolate box
Instructions:
1. Gather your supplies.
2. Measure the box (top and sides) and cut your paper ½” bigger than the measurements.
3. Score the extra ¼” on each sides of your cut paper. This will make the paper go over the edges which will give it a much finished look at the end.
4. For the sides, add a punched border on one edge before adhering to the box.
5. Cover the sides of the inside box with pattern paper. Cut a piece of paper that will go on the bottom inside of the box and adhere.
6. Decorate the front of the box with paper and stickers.
7. I wanted to raise my itty bitty letter stickers but didn’t want to go through the hassle of adding foam adhesive on each one, so I placed the edges of the sticker on my flexible ruler and then added a long strip of sticker enough to cover the back of all the letters then adhered that to my project.
8. I also cut out some small fishes in one of the pattern paper, added foam adhesive to the backs of them and added them as embellishment to my title block.
9. I punched a hole on the sides of the box and threaded some baker’s twine through it a couple of times and tied in the front.
10. To add texture to the swirl pattern on my paper, I added some rain dots.
11. To make the mini, I started with cutting cardstock into a strip sizes 4” x 12” and then folded them every 3” to make the accordion folds. I made two of these.
12. Next, I put them together with some Perma Tac Adhesive.
13. I then cut out some journaling blocks and more pattern paper that will cover my cardstocks and adhered them with some more perma tac.
14. I tied the whole mini with some more baker’s twine.
