Making Memories Photo album box

My mom "commissioned" me to spruce up these Making Memories photo album boxes for the Women of the Year nominees at her church. Instead of just giving them a framed certificate, she slid a mini certificate in the front of the box. Now they get a keepsake of day and something they can use for years to come.

I used my cricut and cut some chipboard flourishes (I think Home Accents). Then I painted them with Ranger gold paint dabber and some walnut stain distress ink. The red ribbon was too bright so I grunged it up a bit with walnut stain distress ink, water, and walnut gold glimmer mist. I added the clusters of paper roses and leaves and VOILA! I think they turned out pretty cute.
