Today I worked on little Photo Cubes I am making for Buggy's 1st Birthday Party.
I started with these Photo Cubes I bought for something I intended to do this past Christmas, and then changed my mind ...
Then I removed the cardboard insert and covered it with pink cardstock. You could also use wrapping paper or any other cute kind of paper you wanted to be the backdrop!
Then I added Photos, Embellishments from my scrapbooking, and a couple ladybugs ! The only thing you have to work about is making sure that you don't do anything too fat or the cube wont close.
After I completed the four sides ( I left the bottom and top empty but you don't have too!) I closed up the box.
I then used ribbon that we are going to use at the party and a candle that is also from the party supplies on the top. And this is the final product ...
We have a centerpiece that matches her party decorations but I am going to put these out as well. This one is about the pregnancy/newborn stage. It is so fun to have a reason to go back and look at the pictures of her when she was such a tiny thing !
linked up @ these great parties !
Oh what a cute idea! Very creative!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to A Crafty Soiree and sharing:) That is a fabulous idea! I had some photo cubes from the dollar section of Target in my cart, once upon a time but ended up putting them back. I really like how you've used yours for more than just a cube and turned it into a birthday "cake"! Now I'm kicking myself for not getting at least one, just in case.
