PPPR Totally Awesome 80s Blog Hop

 
Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!
 
Welcome to the PPPR Totally Awesome 80s Blog Hop!
 
If you came here from Gloria's blog, you are in the right place.  If you just stumbled upon this post and would like to start from the beginning, please visit the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog.
 
Are you enjoying all the Awesome and Rad projects today?

As you have probably figured out, the theme of today's hop is "Totally Awesome 80's" using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files.
 
I am an 80s kid and I loved everything about it!  The layered clothes and LA Gear hi-tops, the big hair, the video games, the music (I was in love with Duran Duran), and the TV shows.  I loved it all!
 
For my project today, I used the hop freebie to make this awesome puzzle cube.  I tried to have it represent what my real cube would have looked like.  I never was able to solve the whole thing!  This is about as far as I could get before I would get frustrated and walk away. LOL
 
Details:

For extra chances, you can also "LIKE" Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons on Facebook and/or sign up for the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Newsletter.  A random winner will be chosen for the prize on Tuesday, June 16, 2015.
 
 
And as with each monthly hop, we start a new monthly challenge.  This month your projects
