Ray and I went to AC moore and Joanns this weekend!!!!!! They're both so much cheaper than michaels i couldn't believe it!!!
Anyways, we bought the supplies for the photo cube gift box, the frames for the memorial table as well as a couple of baskets and ribbon...
anyways, i've started painting the wood already and now i'm scanning in older pics (the pre-digi days ones) it's so cute going through all of our memories together...ray looks like such a baby in some of them
what am i going to do when this is all over?!

Re: I'm feeling crafty!!! (my photo cube project)
Wow, that is so awesome!!! I think I want to try this, even though I am really UNcrafty. I will probably end up hot gluing my fingers together!!!
Question....where do you put the photo cube at the wedding reception? How will the guests know to put their cards there? I will feel like a dork asking them to put it in the photo cube if they hand it to me. Is there any way you are letting people know to put them there?
SOOOO impressed, Azad!

Wow, I was thinking that today! I was like hmmn, 'I wonder where the photo cube box goes. Do people have a gift table at the wedding? Should I put it on my parents table and go over there anytime I get a card? Should I put it on the placecard table? But if I do, how would they know to put the cards in there and who would watch the box once we go inside the main room? Does it go on the cake table? Does the cake table stay out all night? So,I too have NO IDEA where to put it.

nope! haven't even worked on it, sorry guys was waiting for ray cause i need to hands to put it together, but we had no time this weekend
allison, we don't know where we're putting it yet either!
BTW: i cut the slit through the middle, but in hinesight, a diagnol slit is better because it'll hold bigger cards....DUH!

Re: I'm feeling crafty!!! (my photo cube project)
we're almost done with ours FI didn't like the material we ended up putting on the top, so we will have to get new fabrick. Other than that, it looks great!
I am also going to put flowers around the base, because I messed up on the paint. I can't wait to show you what we've made!

My FH did that part We had to buy really small screws cause the ones the L shaped came with were too thick for the frame.

Re: I'm feeling crafty!!! (my photo cube project)
I was looking into doing the same box. I was a little unsure if the 8x10 frames would be too small to hold all of the cards. Please let me know since you are in the process if it looks deep and wide enough to hold the cards.
Thanks

Re: I'm feeling crafty!!! (my photo cube project)
Oh yes!!! that reminds me!!! my dad kept telling me the 8x10 is too small, but we already bought and painted the base so we returned the frames and bought frames that are 9x12 i believe. It still fit on the base so now we're working with these
ugh!
