Family Box Album

Below is a box album that I did last year.  I got my inspiration from a perfume box that opened in the same way. I actually made two versions of this box, but I ended up scrapping the first one because I made the lid the same as the perfume box and I didn't like how it closed.  So I redesigned the lid and came up with the one you see below.  The Album is attached inside the box and starts from the center.  Each side of the album has a family line, mine and my husband's.  It was made using K and Company's Ancestry.com paper collection.

Album Flipped Out
















Album enclosure - I cut four strips of paper (2 for each side) for the enclosure and embosed and inked them to look like snake skin leather with faux stitching.  I wedged a magnet in between the paper strips on each side and glued them together for each enclosure.  The magnets inside the paper strips hold the album closed.
