When I went shopping on Black Friday with my girls, I came across these Photo Cubes at Target. I knew instantly what I wanted to do with this. My family got together and we all spent the weekend at my mom's and I wanted to make a lil' something to give to my sister because I love her SO much. I took the same idea with a video I had posted awhile back using the Sizzix Box die with Mini album. I'm really happy with how it came out. What I loved about the photo cube was that it was two separate pieces. I first decorated the outside of the photo cube with a photo frame I purchased from Michaels then added my favorite iamroses flowers with Prima laces. I designed the outside to where my sister can alternate the inside box therefore her family picture and Jacob's picture will then have the decorated side on their photo(You can decorate all four sides). The inside box I covered each square with the Prima Fairy Flora Collection.(LOVE this collection) and added their photos. I cut one side of the box for me to place the mini album inside. The mini album measures 3" x 3" creating 6 pages using medium weight chip board and Prima Fairy Flora design papers. For every other page I added an envelope(Sizzix Envelope with Ornate flap)with a tag inside for my sister to add journaling. I loved the fact that when you look at the cube, it doesn't look like there's a mini album inside.

Photo Cube (2 separate pieces...love it)
Decorated the box that comes with the Photo Cube with design paper and their photo.
I remove the other half of the cube from the bottom for the Mini album to stand up on the cube.
Mini album fits perfect inside the box.
