Scrapbooking has gone dimensional and this easy-to-make Photo Memory Cube is a great way to display your favourite photos. Pretty papers, a few scrapbook embellishments, and an hour are all you'll need. It's a great way to celebrate a special someone, a new baby, a graduation, milestone anniversary or a favourite friendship.

The cube is a great gift idea, too. Modify the look by changing the papers and embellishments - soft pink for a baby girl, or bright primary colours for a little one's birthday photos. Showcase favourite wedding photos using a combination of white and off-white patterned papers.
