These will go out as Mother's Day gifts to my mom, sis and aunts.

Each is made with 2 contrasting sheets of paper for the covers and part of a third for the spine.
 They open up to reveal a box constructed from book boards which house ...
 a 6 by 6 mini album...

 bound with metal rings and prettied up with lots of ribbons.
 The album is rather thick but the box is very forgiving.  If the album is removed, the box can also house other memorablia.
 Sitting pretty, but not for long...
I've already wrapped them up:

WOW. They must have been so touched.

Love the way you made the boxes from scratch! Do share how if you don't mind! :)
