It’s compact, portable, and ideal for crafters who love to stay organized on the go or work from multiple spaces.
Talk about a colorful way to organize your paper ephemera! These little photo boxes are great for sorting journaling cards, vintage photos, die-cuts, and even small paper scraps. The rainbow layout isn’t just a nice pop of color—it's also a functional way to remember just which box has the exact item you're looking for. Example: I keep my spookier ephemera in the orange boxes!
