Today I finished this Falling Photo Box and really like how it turned out. I made it using the tutorial from
 "The Gentleman Crafter" .. 
I love his work so much.
 Enjoy the pictures!
 This Falling Photo Box is about 6 inches from front to back, 8 inches wide and  6-1/4 inches tall. 
The metal hardware is from the Tim Holtz line.  This hardware gives this photo box a nice vintage look.
 I made the closure using a 1-1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon.
 There is a belt buckle to hold the ribbon belt closed. This is for decorative purposes as the photo box will stay put even without it. I like the look of having the belt.
 This is what you see with the belt and the lid of the box removed.
 On the inside of the front panel of the box is a photo mat for you to add a 4x6  photo or for you to put a title for the photos it will hold.
 This is the photo box as it looks when completely flat. There are 18 sleeves, 9 on each side that each hold a tag which is 4-1/2 by 6-1/4 inches. The actual pocket is 6"x 4-3/4".  You can attach a photo to each tag with the description or journaling on the flip side. Photos can also be affixed to the pockets to afford more photo space. 
On the back panel of the photo box is 8 more flaps that are 6-3/4" x 4-3/4" to hold even more photos or journaling. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my work. I enjoy my time creating these Memory items. I am now starting on one of these boxes in a baby girl theme. I think this will be fun!
