Directions:

1. Cover wood blocks with patterned papers as desired using Perma Tac Adhesive. I like to wrap my papers around the corners except for on the last couple of sides that I cover. Lightly sand edges when complete, then distress with brown ink.
2. For the top of one block, cut several flowers from dressmakers tissue using a diecut machine. Layer flowers, spray with a color mist, allow to dry, sew flowers together then adhere to the top of block with hot glue. Adhere wood knob onto the center of the flower.
3. Insert a photo behind a cardstock frame then adhere to the front of the block using Perma Tac Adhesive. Use hot glue to add a key or other embellishments.
4. Apply rub ons and word stickers as desired to the photo and to the sides of the block.
5. To another block adhere photo then add chipboard butterfly and metal embellishments using Extreme Adhesive Squares.

Designer Tip: These Extreme Adhesive Squares are crazy sticky. I cut off the individual square from the strip then lay it onto the piece that I will be adding to the project, rub it on & remove protctive backing. Removing them from anything is practically impossible so place your square carefully and then feel really, really confident that what you used it on will stay there :-)

6. To remaining block, adhere photo then use Extreme Adhesive Squares to apply the glass knob to the top of the block and to apply flowers and small chipboard butterfly.
7. Apply rub ons and word strips to the block as desired.

If anyone would like the vintage images please visit my blog and request them. Two of them are ones that I recieved online for free, but I colorized them in Photoshop. The other is a photo of my grandmother that I'd be happy to share also
