You didn’t post “The Things I Love About” booklet. I treasure that!
Hey, Marie,
I have done this before, and I love it, But i used a scrapbook tool called coluzzle to cut my pics out it is the perfect size for this and you get a rounded corner look, you could also just use a corner rounder. Any way thanks for sharing.
Those are darling! I saw one of your other readers (Deanna) was going to make my CD case version, but there is something very charming (and durable!) about the word version. I love them. Jewels
That makes me think of even using the smaller blocks other magazine photos instead of (or in addition to) family photos and creating a very personalized set of alphabet building blocks (pictures of animals, foods, household items, etc) or creating a block puzzle of a family unit, etc. Hmmm.. makes me wish my son was 4 yrs old again!
Rebecca – I love that idea. I need to look around my kid’s toy room and see if they will miss it! Fun idea.
Hey, I think I may do this with some building blocks we already have in the toy box — nobody will miss two or three, and saves me the trip to the hardware store….
So stinkin’ cute! Seriously, Marie, I would love to have your artsy brain!!
great idea!! thanks
HA!! Great minds think alike! I am making these (http://paperjewels.blogspot.com/2008/06/cd-photo-cube-tutorial.html) tonight.
Death of an uncle + trip home for 3 days + playing catch up + 2 fieldtrips this week = I am *very* late on my projects! But they look easy and quick. I would prefer the more organic wood look but I think the plastic cd case one will be just as appreciated.
I made one of these when I was in Kindergarten for my dad. It had felt on one side- to sit it on and photos on the other sides. He still has it. This is a cute idea- – I think I’ll have to make some w/ my kids ;)
love these. done so classically.
Stumbled for you. Great idea!
Any Mom would love this. Actually anyone you love would love this… great gift idea!
Very cute. These might be a good Christmas gift. It will take me that long to get organized! Thanks for another great idea.
