This months Crafty Secrets designer challenge is childhood, anything pertaining to childhood.
I've had this wooden cube in my alter crate for years moving it around in my searches, so I decided this was a perfect time to alter it using photo's of 2 of my granddaughters.
I printed the papers from the new Crafty Secrets Patterns CD onto white cardstock and cut the pieces to add to each side of the cube, I left the bottom blank. I distressed the edges of each side with my Brilliance Moonlight White ink pad, and added faux stitching with my tracing wheel. I printed 4 photos of my granddaughters on the antique setting on my photo software and punched out 2 of them with my Marvy scalloped punch and the other 2 I adhered behind Tattered Angels chipboard frames that Sandy is selling now. I painted the frames with Tattered Rose Distress Crackle Paint and sprinkled glitter on the wet paint. The J and the J frame are from the same Tattered Angels chipboard.
The sentiment and fairies are from the Childhood Image & Journal Notes booklet, I cut them with a Spellbinders Labels 4 Die. I painted the box feet with my Snow Cap Paint Dabber and adhered them with E6000.
I cut 2 tim mini rosette's from the Pastel Paper Pad and added buttons to the centers.
I added buttons here & there and Kaiser Pearls.
The top is a pink knob I got at Hobby Lobby, it's adhered with E6000.
