If you happen to have a small cardboard box around your house you have a unique way to display photos or even decorate for the holidays. A square cardboard box, with a tuck-in lid, is all you need to get started with the simple but beautiful conversation piece. And, when you're finished with the easy project, you can simply change the look of the photo cube any time you want, in mere seconds!

The cube you use needs to have a lid and it's the perfect box if the lid is attached and will tuck into the box. Box tops that are split down the middle can be taped shut and used for the photo cube, too. If the box doesn't have a lid you can cut a piece of cardboard and tape it in place. A square cube is perfect but the photo cube can also be made from a rectangular box.

Start by purchasing a roll of magnetic sheeting. You'll find it at any craft store. You can also purchase the magnet by the sheet but you'll need to purchase two or three sheets, depending upon their sizes. Cut a piece of the sheeting to fit each side of the cube, including the top and the bottom. If you want, you can put something in the box to weight it, before starting the project.

After you've cut six pieces of magnetic sheeting, to fit the six sides of the cube, you'll then attach the various pictures you want to display to the magnetic squares. Magnetic sheeting has a peel-away adhesive backing which makes it easy to attach the photos. Simply peel the backing and position the photo on the magnet. Trim if necessary.

The first set of six pictures will actually be glued to the box. Glue one picture on each side as well as the top and bottom of the box. After the glue dries your cube is complete. To make it an interchangeable photo cube you'll now make additional magnetic pictures.

You can create particular themes for your cube or you can just cut family photos that you'll use to change the look of the cube at any time. If you want to create themes you'll simply make six new photos for each theme. Cut photos and images from magazines, cloth, posters, product boxes and other sources.

Since the first set of magnetic photos are glued to the box the next set will easily attach to the first set. The magnetic sheeting allows you to simply stick the next photo to it. Display family photos this week, a Halloween theme later, then a Christmas scene during that time of the year. There's no limit to the different themes you can make.

Take things you love, like dolphins or lighthouses, and create a beach theme. Use other pictures to create a theme of your growing child. Select six different photos, which show your child as he or she was growing up, then make a photo cube with that theme. It's easy to make themes for holidays, anniversaries, graduations, or vacations.

Don't continue sticking more and more pictures to the cube. Instead, keep the original photos glued to the cube, then add one new set over those, anytime you wish. The next time you want to change the theme just remove the old set and add the new.

Stick with one form of images for each set. For example, make all the photos in a particular set out of paper or out of cloth. Don't make some of them from product boxes, some from cloth and others from photos. Although you can use the various types to form a collection of sets, the cube doesn't look quite right if you mix them. You can have one set that's all made from fabric images, one set all cut from magazines, and so on.

Set the cube on a shelf, the mantle or a counter top. Display in a window or just set it on the coffee table. The cubes make great gifts and fabulous conversation pieces. They're easy to create and so easy to change – whenever you take the notion. It's an inexpensive way to show off your photos and holiday themes while investing very little money. Get the kids involved – it's a great project for them as well!

Justin Bieber, that powerful pop force who's hype is larger than he is, was spotted out side Miami International Airport last night. By the looks of it, Justin isn't just on a mission to rid the world of all “lonely girls”, he wants world peace too. Or perhaps, newcomer Justin has been getting paparazzi hand gesture tips from pop veteran Miley Cyrus. Oh, who are we kidding? This is just our lame excuse to post pictures of Justin. We needed our daily Bieber fix just as badly as you do.

Photoshop is a great tool for photographers. With this software, you can remove red eyes, correct blurry photos, and get rid of artifacts. Photoshop can also be used to remove hated ex-boyfriends, erase blemishes, and delete distracting objects from the background of the picture. While cleaning up a photo to make it look prettier is nice to be able to do, there are also disadvantages to altering photos.

Advantages to Retouching Photos

Who likes to look at photos with red eyes? Other than people who are interested in making monster movies, red eyes are usually undesirable in photos. Photoshop is a useful tool to get rid of red eyes.

Pictures sometimes turn out a little blurry. With Photoshop, you can sharpen the photo up a bit and make the photo a little less blurry. If the photo is too light, it is easy to darken it up. Similarly, it is easy to make dark photos lighter again. I have been able to make old pictures look new again by adding some color saturation to them. A friend of mine was able to make a photo of my baby that went through a house fire look like nothing had ever happened to it. A photo can be turned into black and white or sepia, or can have only one element colored in order to make a cool effect.

Photoshop is a useful tool to get rid of distracting backgrounds, branches that look like horns coming out of someone's head, boogers on a child's face, and ex-boyfriends. If we don't like what a picture looks like, we can change it to fit our desires. We can even change a picture to put us in a place that we have never been before.

Disadvantages to Retouching Photos

When we change our photos, it can leave us with a reality that doesn't exist. Children really do get boogers on their faces. One day they'll grow up and won't need to have their noses wiped any more. Teenagers might go through awkward stages, acne and all, and airbrushing their faces removes that reality. An ex-boyfriend might be a low-life loser, but if he was in your life, removing him from the picture removes the memories, however painful they may be at the moment.

Some of the most interesting elements of a picture are often the details that we don't pay attention to when we take the picture. My daughter had her ears pierced for a while a couple of years ago. The earrings ended up falling out, and I don't know how it happened, but the holes in her ears grew back almost immediately, and we weren't able to get the earrings back in again. While going through pictures of her, I saw the earrings and remembered the story. Cars and people in the background can remind you of trips that you took and people that you once were in contact with. Even ex-boyfriends can remind you of a relationship that you are thankful to be out of. If you erase all of these reminders, you might forget about them later.

Perhaps the best solution is to keep a copy of the original photo before you alter it. That way you can have the nice, cleaned up picture that you want, but you will still have a copy of all the details that will bring up memories years down the road.
