Papercutz Tuesday

Every Tuesday I will try to showcase a project I have made using paper. Today's project is a photo cube I made from a box a present came in at Christmas time. I believe you can get these boxes at Dollar Tree.
 

This is the finished Photo Cube with mini album.

I used a 6x6 Paper pad from  Simple Stories called Snap Life,

This is what the box looked like when I started.

I used a wire hanger to create the Photo stand in the lid. I clipped the portion I needed, bent it into the shape I wanted and embossed it with red embossing powder.

I found these little white lunch bags at Hobby Lobby for $2.99. You get 16 bags in a package. They are 6 3/4" long, 3 1/2" wide and 2" deep.(They come in a variety of colors)

Here is the top of the photo cube

The sides

Here is where the mini album lives!

I tucked a tag into each pocket for journaling on or for more photos.

Here is the open tag. 

This is the inside of the box with the mini album (lid) removed. 

Thanks for taking a look. This was a fun one to put together!

Happy Tuesday.

Hugs, Dawn

TPE Challenge #16

This week's challenge at The Pink Elephant is to use this sketch by Robin Willis:

Here is my card using her FABULOUS sketch:

These are the things I remember using for this card: Papers: WeRMemoryKeepers, Border Punch: Martha Stewart (Doily), Stamp: Studio G, Ribbon: American Crafts, Cuttlebug Folder: Spots and Dots (I think), COlor Box Chalks, White Jelly Roll pen, Staz-on ink, Lt. Blue Martha Stewart marker.......I did better than I thought I would remembering lol. Oh and I used my "Walk in the Garden" cart. with my Cricut for the flower petals.

The Pink Elephant Challenge #11

This week's challenge at The Pink Elephant is: (Insert direct copy and paste.....TADA, lol)
For Mom(Happy Mother's Day or Happy Birthday Mom)and/or Don't Throw That Away (Recycle, Reuse)you can submit 1 project (Mother's Day or Recycle) OR you can submit a project for both themes this week!!! Think of it as 2 chances to win!!
So I decided what better time to make a gift for my Mama!!! First I will show you my Recycled Project. I used a tin can (From Manwich ;), to create a pencil holder, or whatever else she wants to put in there. It came out really cute considering I made my own pattern!!
Before:

After: I sewed this cover......twice. The first one was to small to slip over the can, I didn't give myself enough wiggle room with the seam allowance >.< There is a liner inside the can too, which you can't see in the photo. In retrospect I prolly could've gotten the same result from simply using a hot glue gun .....but where's the fun in that?? I did use the glue gun to add the trim and ribbon ;)

I can't send Ma a gift and no card. Nope, nope, nope. (I hope you aren't viewing my blog mom, if you are....pretend you didn't see these lol). With that I have 2 chances to win!! :)

So happy together...(everybody sing!)
Thanks for looking!!!
