I love this! I used the wood box one of the teacups that Tara gave me for my birthday came in.
This is what I did with it
I used 1 12x12 piece of cardstock and made 3 little accordions to fit inside the box...of course you can make as many as will fit in your box! Each family member got ther own accordion...Bugsy makes us a family of three.
This is one of my favorite pictures...I was into using the time on my camera & Blaine agreeded to participate for a few shots and we were standing there smiling & Bugsy jumped up the back of my leg & his nails dug in as he climbed up me! He used to do this when he was tiny & I thought it was so adorable but now it just hurts...it's still really funny to watch!
It was a really fun project! I used paper, embellishments and rub-ons from Coastal Culture, different lined papers & index cards. I doodled and painted...all good things!


THANKS for another GREAT Idea!! I bought 4 cigar type boxes and have been trying to figure out what to do with them. I thought of just decorating the boxes and make cards to put in them to give but this idea is just great!! I think I may have to do one for Paul;'s mom for christmas with some pictures of us in it and our cat :)

I absolutely love the picture where your cat is holding on to you! I have a 2 year old cat and he always does that to me (I thought my cat was the only one to do that) what a nice memory box that turned out to be! Thanks for sharing!

What a great project! I love how versatile this concept is and how you could add to the box so easily.
