Christmas Emporium Altered Art Box & Calendar

Have you tried any of Graphic 45's gorgeous altered art boxes yet?  I just love these little things - you get a gift box and a mini album all in one! 
For my project today, I altered the 5x8 kraft box and inside, transformed the mini album (2 of them actually) into a calendar for my mother in law (she's been begging me for the past few years to make her a monthly calendar with photos of the family for each of the months so I finally decided to finish this project off for her and will give to her as a Christmas gift)!



















Thanks so much for your visit today!
