I decided to create a CD case photo cube! I have been eyeing these cute cubes and decided to try one with the new CTMH Back Country Level 1 Stickease and Dimensional Elements In Color-Adventure on page 16 and 17 of the new catalog. I also used Outdoor Denim, Barn Red and Olive CS, some retired CTMH beads and Natural Hemp. For the water on the rafting picture, I used some B & T paper from the "Moon Doggie" Level One paper pack, bumped up one of the waves with dimensional foam tape and applied some Liquid Glass. I used the directions in the great tutorial found here and have not quite figured out how I want to finish up the bottom as I need something that won't cover my embellishments at the lower part of the cube??? It's always something : )

Anyway, without further ado....

Now, "Hop" on over to Traci's blog at www.creativetraci.blogspot.com to see her work! Be sure to visit all the consultants at their blogs to get some great ideas for the new product. Remember, the Summer 2009 Idea Book goes LIVE on May 1st!
