For the labels Wedding Photos, Wedding Anniversary with a space or circle for year (that way photos for a couple's own anniversary get a-ways or special 25th/50th/etc parties) a sheet of blank labels so we can fill-in own ideas or a person's name or name and age photos. Love this box idea and thought so when you were with Hero and you mentioned it. Thank you fr being there for us all. You too Tom (wife's really need and WANT you there to support and help. I know I've been married 53 years in July! Thank you😃🧑‍🤝‍🧑👩‍❤‍💋‍👨

[@BEConnection7]

I will like to see categories for: Baptism/Christening, Wedding, Baby Shower, Prom. Thanks for the template and labels.

Memories

[@dinahsanchez3548]

Gina, great idea; labels could be Wedding photos, grandparents photos, prom photos, friendship photos, pet photos. Thank you🌹

[@DMoz13]

Thank you so much for sharing your incredible ideas with us Gina! My idea for labels: All the grade levels, K-12th (individual), Theme Parks, i.e., Disneyland, Universal Studios, Legoland (individual), baptism, first communion, wedding and I'm sure all think of more. 🙂

[@carolinep4352]

Thanks so much Gina ❤. And Tom. Miss your guitar playing 😢

[@jo-annmaruszak9885]

Love the “Scrapture” of Gina and Tom. ❤

[@rhondapasini4997]

Thank you for this demonstration. Love it. Maybe add - wedding photos , bridal shower photos, retirement photos, Easter photos for your template. 🥰

[@eileenchapman-jf8qb]

I’m watching this in replay, and Gina, I love the Memory Boxes, and thank you for the freebies.❤️

[@lyndasterling9716]

Thank you for The Memory Keeper Box. I asked when you showed the box on the show with Jennifer McCuire to show us, so I am so happy you are now showing us. Thank you for the free goodies! Love you Gina!

[@pammcclung861]

This was so great, Gina! Thanks for offering the templates! Super great idea. You’re right, it’s so much more fun to look at physical photos!

[@AlisaConner]

This is awesome Gina. I think it would be nice to have some smaller labels with the years for the front without opening the box. I'm not sure which master layouts small shape would work but the year is something I would use.

[@jnsfannybrown]

so happy to be here..... an old lady learning new tricks!

[@debbiebriggs8705]

Watching replay from Michigan.

[@reJOYCEful1]

Thank you, Gina for your useful freebies and Tom thanks again for the smiles

[@marilynbarnick3013]

Gina what a sweetheart you are to do all of this for us! Wonderful freebies!

[@baboo7192]

Thank you for the freebie print outs! They are sure come in handy! Much appreciated. Beautiful little boxes!!! So fun!!❤❤❤

[@hollytalbott7291]

Hello Gina & Tom. Nice box. My ideas are 4th of July, Memorial Day, Camping, Family Reunion, Church Camp, Cards I’ve Made, and of course a blank one. ❤

[@jo-annmaruszak9885]

Just want to tell you that I just ❤love the master layouts. ❤❤

[@CathyWilson-hx4ho]

watched the replay. My first time checking out your videos. love all the great ideas for these boxes and all the ways to decorate them, Thank you Gina and Tom

[@steen0716]

This label print out is great. May the categories, Graduation Photos, Retirement Photos, Funeral Photos, and Reunion Photos. You are simply the best. Thanks for all you do. You have the most beautiful hands with such long and slender fingers. I love that you don’t do nail polish. ❤❤❤

[@debrastaggs3352]

I can hardly wait to try this.

[@sherryrn9909]

Missed the live, watching replay.

[@debrastaggs3352]

Tom you are too funny

[@roxannebays5626]

Missed this one so watching now. Loved these boxes when you showed them on the Tag Team video with Jennifer! Thanks so much!

[@Bkline122]

Would work great to gift recipe cards!

[@teriwilson897]

Gina - these would be perfect to put card bases/fronts in or die cuts when going on a retreat of friends day!❤️

[@marilynpool3934]

I would love to have a Flower Garden. Love the idea.

[@helenmurratti4672]

I am so excited to make these. I have bulky albums taking up too much room on shelves. I will edit the photos down and start making these boxes to save the photos I love the best. Thank you Gina!

[@gwengregory9548]

I’m watching the replay and I just love the Info Card Template you created to add to the box. So important for the Photo Boxes! Thank you for taking the time to create them. You did the work so well don’t have to!!! We love you Gina!! I know I speak for all of us when I say that!!

[@patnorris3045]

Retirement or work photos, Halloween photos, Easter photos, Grandkids photos

[@tinakennett3436]

Thank you again for the wonderful free gifts. But, I do miss Tom’s guitar playing.

[@ChihuahuaCheech]

This was a very exciting show! I love the ability to make and decorate beautiful boxes for special occasions, especially using my dies in new ways to make gifts beyond cards! Thank you Gina! This is brilliant!

[@LizWhidden]

Gina you always have such great ideas. You always make it easy for us to recreate Thank You! The boxes are WAY too small for the photos I have. LOL!! I have a very big family & then there's my husbands family. I currently use the plastic containers / photo boxes (emphasis on boxes). I have many labels all with the name & dates of the event, Family Reunion, Family Picnic, Baptisms, Wedding, Babys Birth, Jr High Graduation, High School Graduation, Kindergarten Graduation , College Graduation, Proms, Father Daughter Dance, Visit to (Yosemite, Texas, San Diego, Disneyland, Sea World etc.), Birthday, Family Get Together, Retirement Party, Engagement Party, Bachelorette Party, Bachelor Party, Family Portrait 5 X 7s. Just to name a few. I wish I would have had your label print out when I labeled my containers. My labels are now falling off. Keep up your good work, I enjoy watching!

[@longlivedemocracy756]

Thank you Gina and Tom! We appreciate you!

[@maryjotaylor7212]

I like the idea of your memory box. I think I would like it. If how you have the baby that’s how the box open like with a flap you could use a Little Circle, Velcro thing to open and close the box..

[@milliecookie147]

Love the memory box and the seed box! Both are awesome!!!

[@peggydid]

Harbor Freight has small thin magnets in the hobby section that are great to use in your paper crafts!

[@reEngineeredPaper]

Love this Memory Box for Pictures! Here are some Label Suggestions- Family, Family Get Togethers, Friends, Pets, *All the Months, Favorite Pictures, Next Project, December Daily, Vacation, Travel, Halloween, New Years Eve, Dance, *Every Grade Level, Graduation, Projects (either pictures of projects you've made or Pictures set aside to put on projects you've made). And make them so we can edit them before we print, to add a date or place. Ex- Vacation 2023 or Travel to Paris France

[@debrastaggs3352]

I love this.

[@jerithompson6595]

Your so generous Gina, Thank You! Ideas seasons, winter, spring, summer, fall

[@toandiloya585]

Thank you Gina, you are so kind to share the templates with us. Can't wait to make. Love your channel ❤ Maria L.

[@CJLCreations]

Thank you, this was really fun. Great idea. Can't wait for the Seed packet one. Thank you!!!!

[@lisadavis4807]

I use the card kit boxes for my scraps. I love them as they are a great size and very sturdy.

[@debrastaggs3352]

Very useful and functional

[@olgacreates]

Darn, I missed the live, so I will definitely watch and make many of these.

[@kirstindeweese8369]

Having so much fun with this box! I did put a magnet closure and mine opens on the big flap. Love this!

[@jjellii1228]

I was on a roll tonight tonight 6 boxes completed! Feeling accomplished!

[@deborahreeder7374]

I would like to make little boxes with cards inside for gifts. Thanks for your ideas.

[@norinemueller4588]

Great video love this idea

[@carynscheffer6299]

I love the box idea! Could you design one that opens at the top (decorative flap made functional)?

[@ndsturg]

(Diane) You can get little Velcro dots

[@debrastaggs3352]

Oh my goodness. That us awesome. If you had sticker paper you could put on each individual photo

[@maryannthompson8083]

Thank you, Gina. Great boxes and downloads.

[@jklewis2400]

Vacation, Anniversary, Family Reunions, School picnic, Wedding,

[@covilm]

Those baby pics ❤. Had my first born in 1995 and I swear we had the same sofa and baby toys! I miss those days ❤

[@kandrews6356]

As I was watching this video, I think I heard Tom say something about a comment stating 'somebody might get tired of opening the side' (or something similar) and I was wondering if you thought putting a tab on the opening end, attached to the inside 'flap piece' that you could 'Pull to Open' might be an idea? This is a great little box and I think it would be a perfect gift to a host after a party, or a new Mother after a birth of new baby pics... so many possibilities. Thank you for sharing. As far as the labels go... I think maybe a blank page of labels would work so you could write, stamp, or type in whatever label you want. Recipes is the first thing that came to my mind... LOL. Also, you could do circles, squares, octagon, rectangle... WOW... anything/everything really.

[@jklewis2400]

Thank you for the handy templates!! Love making boxes and these have such a wide variety of uses!

[@harrietvick1119]

The freebies are wonderful! Thank you!

[@gigigirl6898]

Gina you are such a sweetheart. Thank you. You are so kind.🫶🏻

[@tammiejohnson5745]

Thank-you for this! I've looked forward to it since your Live with Hero Arts!

[@SusanW8223]

I’ve been going thru old family photos and this will be great to make one each for my sister and brother!

[@rhondallyons9842]

Absolutely beautiful, Gina ❤

[@whoooami2090]

I love interactive cards

[@Cindy-2024.]

Love these boxes. Great idea. Thank you for sharing 😊🤗

[@murielkelly4034]

Thank you Gina for the video on this lovely box and the templates. So many gift ideas going around in my head now 🤪

[@susanmeadows8309]

Label ideas Halloween, recipes (family recipes, drink recipes, candy, etc) , graduation, scouting, boy or girl, possibilities are endless.

[@gwengregory9548]

Great idea!! I just love your idea of a Family Recipes label

[@carolgonzales4262]

Gina I love you! You are such a creative gal! Thank you!!

[@suecrease6795]

This was wonderful. Going to make to post my deeply layered floral cards

[@jackiejohnson7158]

Thanks Gina! I love boxes. Made one recently that closed at the flap and I used magnets. Tonic Studios sells very thin magnets and they work great.

[@maryj1064]

I can’t wait to make these! Lots of ideas Thank you sooooo much!

[@Moni-dr1bz]

Halloween, Baby Shower, Bridal Shower, At the Lake, Camping, Cruise, Sports, Pet Photos

[@susanseale6363]

The boxes are adorable! You’ve encouraged me to get some photos printed so my kids have them to show grandkids one day! I’m a 4x6 card maker so I can’t wait for that one too! Thank you for your generosity!

[@sandraward9810]

hi everyone from OKLAHOMA beautiful day! from Sandy

[@kathypatterson4630]

Oh, Gina, how could we ask more of you?! I love your stamps, cards, stencils, tools...everything you do. Can't affford them all, but I get what I can.I love your paper choices!! Thank you Gina snd Tom.

[@vickiegraham5597]

You are so generous.. thank you❣❣

[@adonnabridges1688]

Thank you Gina and Tom for the videos and the free downloads. I enjoy watching your videos and always look forward to the word of the day. I'm waiting for the "Krupsky Dictionary". 😉

[@kathleenlsaavedra9828]

Can't wait to see what I can do with white pigment ink!! 12:00 here.

[@shirl4243]

Hi Gina! I love your creative tips so generously given. I asked during the live if there is any chance of you offering your beautiful pattern paper in 8 1/2 x 11. I'd love to have larger sizes of them. Thanks so much for all you do to help us. Can't wait for the next kit 5.28.24. (next Tuesday!)

[@Peggers9119]

Wedding photos, Senior Class photos, rectangular shape

[@juliel6254]

Really enjoyed this! Would LOVE to see a video / template for the seed packets!

[@harrietvick1119]

Beautiful paper!

[@harrietvick1119]

This is a wonderful idea!

[@susanforeman3141]

Love them

[@yvonnesmith6114]

Gina and Jenn for my Birthday tomorrow!!

[@lyndavandenhoek5515]

Grades 1-12, college

[@janetwaggoner9401]

We need Crayola boxes for our church kids. Maybe we can adapt this template to fit 8 Crayolas. Thanks for the idea.

[@debrastaggs3352]

You are so awesome

[@MaryAdams-d2f]

LABEL SUGGESTIONS! LOVE the labels for these adorable boxes, will be making some for gifts for the holidays. I would like to have a label (or two on a template sheet) for Pet Photos, Easter, maybe Halloween. Also, since I think some people may make several for family for Christmas and Thanksgiving, would it be possible to do a sheet of half and half? Maybe other holidays, too. I love finding new ways to use some of the patterned paper I've been hoarding!

[@DonnaDunn-fq7ns]

Thanks, Gina. I have to watch Thursday on replay due to that pesky job. Looking forward to both you and Jennifer tomorrow as well as Craft Roulette. I got hooked on Craft Roulette when you were on earlier this year. 😁

[@Cards4Cancer]

Thanks so much for the template. I have one Kindergarten graduation yesterday, and 1 High school graduation tonight. I can’t wait for Craft Roulette. We all need more Rina in our lives. As far as labels, I think summer photos, and Winter photos would be good additions.

[@jeriparks7606]

Thank you so much for the templates Gina. I saw you the other day when we all begged you to bring them back. I've already made 4 of them, so cute.

[@ndsturg]

(Diane) I think filling it with the top 24 photos of each year would be good. Then you can just label with the year

[@CraftyToad70]

Thanks, Gina, for the Memory Box template. After seeing you show it in the Hero Arts interview, I was hoping this template would be making a reappearance. And so thoughtful of you to include all the add ons for labels and journaling. You are so very generous and it is much appreciated.

[@jklewis2400]

Easter, 4th of July,. Circles and rectangles would be fun but not as elegant as those ovals. Thanks!

[@imspinner1]

Missed the live but now I don't have to wait for templates 😂. These are great! Thanks Gina! Love Tom's words of the day! They fit me to a T.

[@sandygist7634]

Love the colors on the box. When I practice making boxes I actually use them for scraps and samples, and some are big enough for cards and envelopes.

[@Pamek-466]

Good idea

[@evelynnvonfeldt2838]

I think the oval templates should have room for the year to be listed along with the titles. I do like the blank ones too.

[@maryannjacobson8289]

Thank you and Tom for making these wonderful videos. Love the the colors for the box. Thanks for sharing.
