My next project is a decor item that I can have out for
Thanksgiving
OR any time of year!
Thankful for YOU wooden block.
I used stamps from the October Kit of the Month
{take time to laugh}
and other Unity stamps
First I cut patterned paper into 3.5 inch squares
next, I attached the paper to the block with Modge Podge
then, I added the title and embellishments to the top of the cube.
after that, I trimmed my kid's photos to 3X3 squares
and adhered to the block- one per side
finally, I stamped sentiments on each photo
(yes.. you should probably do this BEFORE adhering the photos...
but I didn't...that's how I roll... :)
but I didn't...that's how I roll... :)
and.. DONE!
it turned out adorable..
they love having their photos as part of our table centerpiece!

Hi Brooke!
Oeh, what a beauty of a box you have created!!! Perfect! Love the photos on it and the way you can change your view on it every day! Great idea! Also love the winning card, that's so pretty! What an idea to make a branch like that in stitching, lovely!!
What am I grateful for? Well, of course, for my loving family, boyfriend and sweet friends and being healthy and happy! BUT..... to be honest.... the first thing that came to my mind, when I read your question was: MEETING UNITY! Ha ha! Am I weird? I've only 'met' Unity about five/six weeks ago and I'm in love! Love all the stamps, all the people and all the wonderful creations I admire on the lovely blogs! So that's what my honest answer would be! ;-)
Hope you'll have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Wendy
What a gorgeous, gorgeous idea of thanksgiving - I LoVe your cube (and I'd be just the same, adding the stamping after I'd glued the pics on, cos that's when I'd think of it!!) Hmmm, that would work for a great Christmas pressie for my mother in law - thanks for the inspiration :)
WOW! Your card is just stunning and that block is AWESOME! I just love seeing your creative and inspiring style. Love all the stamps you used for this theme. Congrats Emily!
Please don't add me to the giveaway! I love Unity, but I have that Itty Bitty. I'm so grateful and thankful for my family and all the special people that I've met through Unity and Ippity!
Fabulous cube and what adorable children you have too.
Oh my goodness! I love the block! That is seriously the cutest! I only have 2 kids (2nd will be here in 3 weeks) so I would have to have 2 photo's per kid... but I think maybe a picture with mommy and daddy too would be fun for kids! That is such an awesome idea. I am have to cas you!
Brooke, I absolutely adore your card and that photo cube is fantastic!

I am definitely most thankful for my wonderful family. Through mostly great and sometimes low times, I wouldn't trade any part of my family for anything in the world! :)
that is a gorgeous block!! Your photos are fabulous and the stamping is icing on the cake!!
I just love blog hops! I get to meet so many talented and inspiring people. Love your card and display block! What I'm most thankful for is MY FAMILY! My parents instilled in us the importance of family and although we have lost them and 1 brother, us other 5 manage to enjoy each other's company even though we are all different. Family does that for us:) My two sons unfortunately didn't get along too well when they were young but now as adults do enjoy each others company. Nothing makes my heart grow bigger than seeing the two of them laugh together:)
Hi. I love the woden block! Its so beautiful. Maybe i should try that sometimes.
I'm thankful for my family and friends. Life is better and happier with them. And very Thankful for their love.
Love your "thankful" cube - what a great, tangible way to show off some of your most precious blessings -- and like you said, I'm sure it really lets your children know how much you love and value them.
Beautiful!
I'm thankful for my faith and relationship in Christ, my husband's love, and many, many more bountiful blessings!
I'm thankful for so much - my family, my friends, a stable full-time job.. The list goes on!
Love that cube and your instructions make it so easy to try for myself! I'm sooo thankful that my family and my husband's family make one big happy group of people who love spending time together!
=D
I am so thankful for many things, family, friends, health, country... In particular I am thankful for my husband's job, which he nearly lost three weeks ago.

Your photo block is AWESOME!!! Today I am super grateful for the little things that aren't really little. Healthy kids, thank yous when I didn't ask for them that show they're listening, big impish grins, my husband getting home safely from the job I'm so grateful he has. Non-little things like that. :)
LOve LoVE LoVe that box! Im thankful for my family every minute of the day (even when they are driving me crazy) and Im thankful for blog candy! LOL
Beautiful block project! I see one of these in my future!
Oh, Brooke! This is sooooooooooooo pretty! I just love that card--love how you popped that plant! And that block--oh my goodness! SO CLEVER!
What am I thankful for---I'm thankful for my savior--He is EVERYTHING! I can't do anything without him--and I'm thankful for all He has done for me. Plus, my husband and great relationship with him. FYI::: Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE holiday. WHY? Because I have so much to be thankful for!! LOVE IT:)
Really love the photo cube idea.
Brooke, your card is lovely. I like the kraft base, the layers & the stitching. The brighter colours of the focal image really adds a special touch to the card.
The cube is really something too. A great decor item and makes a beautiful gift. Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous box and lovely children:-) Great job, as always!
What fantastic inspiration! I'm most grateful for my gorgeous 10 year old daughter, who's my friend too, for my lovely man who puts up with me crafting, and when not crafting putting up with me talking about it and my little dog who makes me laugh on a daily basis!
LOVE your card over at the Play Date Cafe too, it's FAB! So glad you could join in with us for our anniversary celbrations.
Yea, I'm still doing some late hopping from yesterday! I'm so glad I got here because I love your card, and oh my gosh, this picture block is the cutest most awesome ever!!!! I love your details and that you stamped on the pictures...FABULOUS FABULOUS ideas...thanks for the inspiration Brooke!
