Hello and Happy Father's Day!
Wow, it has been a long time since I last posted! Today I wanted to share with you the fun little project that I have been working on for my dear hubby.
I have gone back to basics and made a project that involves paper, photos, and lots of shabby chic techniques.
I started by creating an accordion folded album, found some fun father themed quotes and printed them onto some nice scrapbook paper. I have tons of scrapbook paper and I really need to do more of these projects because this paper is crying out to be used.
I decided to use photos that I converted to black and white because I love the way they pop off the page against the colorful paper. I also have to thank Becca, from Amazing Paper Grace, for inspiring me to finally use some of that ribbon that I have on a project.
I am very proud of this little project and had lots of fun making it... I also created a similar one for my Dad in shades of brown... that is the best part about using the computer :-)
I don't have time right now, but I will convert the quotes into a PDF document if you are interested. I will update this post when it is ready and provide a link to the full set of instructions, including the quotes should you want to use them on one of your projects.
Enjoy!
