Photo Cube project

I recently bought a few Photo Cubes from Michael’s and here’s my first project for inside one of them.  I used a 12×12 scrapbook page from Heritage Makers and will cut it out and use a scoring blade for the folds.  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

August Pick of the Month

Sweet, baby, sweet!

Here’s my latest Heritage Makers project, made using a 12×12 scrapbook page, that I wanted to share with you…

For the text I included our bedtime prayer – the lyrics to “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep”.  I can’t wait for it to arrive so I can frame it and hang it on baby Emily’s wall.
