From rock the block

The Finished Project!!
Now here is how to make it,
and modify it to suit your family.




From rock the block

Cut 12x12 B & T into 4--6x6 sqaures as shown


From rock the block

Cut each 6" square into 9--2x2 squares
Then cut
Cut 36 1 1/2 squares out of colonial white cardstock
(I used the sqaure #7 from the AP cricut cartridge cut at 1 1/2" to give the blocks a bit more character)

Then stamp the following
HOPE FAITH
FAMILY (plus 3 photo blocks or sayings)
CHRISTMAS
EASTER JOY
You might notice that each line is 9 letters (or blocks) long
Adhere each letter to a 2x2 square

From January 5, 2012

like so (you can see that I used 3 of the saying from the Rock the Block promo stamp set)
then adhere these squares to the blocks

From January 5, 2012
Hint:
adhere one set of letters to one side of the block like above the stretch the blocks out into a row
roll the blocks over and adhere your next set of letters



From January 5, 2012

 (Option--I hope you can understand my explanation --you can replace duplicate "letters" with photos if you so choose.  for example
 on the one side * * *FAMILY
roll the blocks   HOPE FAITH
roll the blocks   JOY EASTER
roll the blocks  CHRISTMAS
notice that the "I" in family & the "I" in faith end up on the same block--the "I" is a duplicate letter

From January 5, 2012


once you have rolled the block 4 times you will end up with 2 uncovered ends
rotate your blocks so one blank side is facing you

From January 5, 2012

Like so
I then cut 9--2x2 square out of a different B&T paper
and cut out 2--1 3/4 photos of my daughter
 and then stamped her name "TIFFANY" on 7 colonial white squares ( 1 1/2")
You can choose to just add 9 family photos, or maybe your last name...whatever you wish


From January 5, 2012

I then adhere these square to the blank walls of the blocks.

I have one side that is still blank on each block.
I will show you what I do with this last side in part 2 of this project.

Oh, and before I forget....
This is my plan for 2012
my home town is celebration it's centennial
100 years young.
and my gift to you will be
100 posts in 2012
I hope you enjoy them
