My husband and I recently took an amazing trip to the Tour of California with some of our best friends. We made incredible memories so when we got home, our first priority was setting up a date to review and trade pictures, laugh and recount the memories.
Sharing pictures is a very special part of life, so keeping them safe is of utmost importance. As a crafter, it’s impossible to just hand over a stack of photos without doing something creative with them. I printed doubles of our photos and rather than turning them over in a plain envelope, I utilized the clear, sturdy (and archival-safe of course) Iris photo cases! The top is flat making it perfect to add a splash of creativity, which in this case, was customized with the initial of the recipient. Simply use your scraps and items you have on hand – that’s all it takes!
Holding up to 100 4” x 6” photos, these Iris cases are great for long-term storage, or for keeping photos for upcoming projects safe until you’re prepared to create! And no worries if you become addicted to using these cases like me – there is a larger organizer to keep multiple cases stored neatly together, a fabulously organized solution!

OMG! You are SO right on the addiction of these cases!! I started with the BIG case, and 12 of the inserts (like on your post) I have obsessivly organized my pictures and LOVE it.
Now when I want to crop pictures depending on my mood, I just grab a case and work! No longer do I flip through random shots. I can choose my dogs and cats, or maybe garden photos.
This is another great idea, and the are usually around $2 each!
