I wanted to keep some of the beautiful photos we have of Mickey during his Army years in with his 'treasure box' items, but I didn't want them to take up a lot of space since the whole point of the box is to hold those tiny 'treasures.' I measured the width of the box and scanned and printed several photos just shorter than the width, so that the album fits in one side of the box. It measures about 2.5x3".
The album is made with a strip of the World War II paper, and the front and back of the album are embellished with several Art Declassified stamp images added with varying shades of distress ink.
Each photo is mounted on a piece of Zsiage scrapbook film that has been colored with alcohol inks, then adhered to a panel of the printed side of the paper (the reverse is a solid lighter green, which has been stamped as you can see on the front cover of the album in the other image).
I did not add a lot of journaling in the album, since these photos and their stories are scrapbooked elsewhere in detail.
Thanks for looking!
