What do you do with your babies' infant memorabilia? I have had Hospital Baby Bracelets, 1st Homecoming Outfits, Baby Announcements, etc floating around on the top shelves of closets (where they would be safe) for the last few places we've lived, and it's been really annoying finding these things and thinking "These are special. These need to be kept safe." and not really having a good place to put them. So I finally did something about it!

I went to Michael's Craft Store and bought some plain white photo boxes on sale. Then I brought them home and measured them - our 12x12 individual scrap pages would be perfect! I wanted my boxes to look traditionally scrapped, designed with love. So I made a piece for each side of the box and lid - Pink for my first daughter, Purple for the second :)

When my pages arrived, they looked like this:

Then I used my straight edge cutter to cut the pieces apart. I used a UHU glue stick to stick the pieces to my box. Super simple!
This is what the finished boxes look like! You can find these both in the Template Gallery, along with a boy's version :)
