I made this for my Hubby. He is overseas right now, serving his country. I altered an altoid tin for him to keep in his uniform pocket. Inside is a mini album with pictures of the kids and I. The paper is from Scenic Route. I made this album, a card and I still have some left over to play with! The base of the album is a 3 1/2 strip of 'kraft' colored cardstock. It is scored every 2 inches and folded like an accordion. I used a corner rounder to give each page more definition (and so it will fit in the tin). The front of the album says "A World Apart" I used rub ons from K&Co. The inside of the album says "but forever close in my heart"

That is adorable! I did the exact same thing for my brother who was in Iraq! I took pictures of the whole family at Thanksgiving and put them in the tin. He said it helped him a LOT through his tour as he kept it in his pocket too! I'm sure your DH will just LOVE this!
Fantastic album! Great idea! Yes, your hubby will love it! And I must say, Thank You to you and your family for your service to our country!!!
