This is what my open exploding box looks like on the inside...

These are great as Christmas gifts, especially for sharing photos, and the Gift Box Punch Board makes it so easy. But what if you put the box back together inside-out? Then you have a photo cube to display and to cherish as a keepsake!

Let's take a closer look at some of the pretty details on this box...

This project is prefect for the new Around the World Stampin' Up! Photo Inspiration Challenge! For this challenge you can be inspired by the colours like I was - blue, white and silver. Or you can be inspired by the Christmas Tree theme. What about the snowflakes and ornaments? So many ideas! What will you create with all this inspiration?
