Project Tuesday's Photo Cube challenge

For all those who love PROJECT TUESDAY'S challenge blog... we are excited to invite a few more girls onto the Project Tuesday Design Team. If you are interested, please add DT after your name. We will announce the NEW DT in January 2011!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would just like to say how sorry I am that I have not been playing along with the PROJECT TUESDAY challenge blog as much as I have in the past. I have had bronchitis since the end of October and I did not get it taken care of until the middle of November. Although I was on meds and it helped to clear up most of it....I just have had no energy to do much of anything. I am starting to feel somewhat better, but not 100%...but enough of my boo whooing about being sick. I am just happy to feeling well enough to be able to play along again.

The challenge for this week at PROJECT TUESDAY is to make a photo cube. I guess you could say that I cheated....I used Tags, bags, boxes and more cricut cartridge for the box and the die cuts are from a couple of different X-mas paper stacks that I have. I didn't add any pics yet, but I will once I get ink for my printer.

Now hop on over to PROJECT TUESDAY and check out what the DT came up with, and make sure that you join in on the fun. Don't forget to link your project!!!
