Garden Book Box

My mind has been pulsating with creative energy this week.  I found myself making not just one book box (Bohemian Bazaar), but making a second one yesterday.  I had a sketch for this idea for awhile, but finally have some free time this week.

The box is constructed of chipboard, Bazzil cardstock, &
Graphic 45's French Country patterned papers.

To hold it firmly shut, the book has a sleeve around it .

In addition, a handle is held on with magnets.

Hiding under the sunflower on top, a second paper ribbon is held shut with a magnet.

On one side, there is a waterfall mini-book.

Opposite that, there is a card mini-book.

 There are accordion books attached to two opposite sides.

Now, all I need is the pictures of the garden for the book. 

 

The book can hold so many pictures:

• 24 - 3" x 4.5" photos (accordion books and card mini-books)
• 4 - 3" x 2.5" photos (waterfall mini-book)
• 1 - 6" x 6" photo.

Good thing the plums and peaches are getting ripe...
