Father's Day Challenge

Wednesday June 13th 2012!  Exciting day today not only because we have an awesome challenge over at The Papercraft Star, but also because it's my little Ava's birthday today!  I'm so excited to have her enjoy her birthday.  We've been putting together one of those Hobby Lobby doll houses, and let me tell you it's not a done in a day project!  I hope she likes it...fingers crossed.  On to the challenge!  For my project I created a mini album for my own Dad.  My parents didn't stay married and I never realized that my Dad doesn't have any pictures of us kids when we were little, which is something I never thought of. So. I thought he might like this album filled with pictures of days gone by.  I used papers from Simple Stories paper line called Documented.  I also used images from our sponsor The House Across The Bay from digital sheets,  Victorian Ads, and Blank Backgrounds.  These images made perfect journal spots which coordinate perfectly with this paper line.  By creating tags and pockets for this album I was able to add lots of fun photos and journaling.  I kept it in the neutral tones which made it easy to add a few flowers here and there without making it too feminine.  I love how it turned out!  Give this challenge a try.  I'd love to see what you come up with!  Just enter your projects by Monday 6:00 s.m EST for your chance to win some fabulous images from our sponsor The House Across The Bay.  I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by.

  6. I saw this on the PCS blog and gasped at how amazing it was. I have been out of town for a few days, so I haven't had a chance to pop over.

    So many wonderful layers and details! For sure this was well thought out and made with love. Gorgeous! Your Dad is going to cherish this and be so appreciative that you are giving him pictures and memories he might have missed out on.

    I am amazed at your work always. Happy to be your newest follower!
