This photo box actually started thirty years ago when I bought an amaryllis bulb from HM Ace Hardware in Hilo. Little did I know that it would grow and produce blooms for decades. We have split the bulbs clusters many times and have been rewared with blooms every year. Because we live in a cell phone photo world, I don't usually have photos around to hold in my hands and enjoy in real life. This box was designed to hold some of my favorite current photos. Printed floral card stock was used to cover the front and bottom of the box. Floral ribbon was glued to the sides of the box cover.
Squarish Spellbinder dies were used to cut out the amaryllis photo ad the yellow card stock. They were glued onto the box front along with the trimmed Echo Park paper sentiment from a 6x6 paper pad. Butterflies from a Forever in Time Die Cut Embellishment pack were glued onto the box front. It was a simple project that hopefully will allow me to collect favorite photos (printed from my endless cell phone pics) in an easily accessible place where I can enjoy them often. This box would also make a good gift box...perhaps filled with meaningful photos. Another added perk is that the original box was an empty See's Candies container so it still has the chocolate aroma which I enjoy everytime I look at my photos....how sweet is that?!!!

LOVE IT! You're right about not having enough physical photos. So, I started to print more out and have added them to sort of a journal in a Hobonichi.
My classmate friend puts together a digital album of all of our outings for the year and sends it to us. We're always taking group photos everywhere we go, it's a nice to see all the memories.
