I am entering this in 2 challenges
Whimsical Wednesday and
Throwback Thursday at My Creative Time
The challenge at My Creative Time was to use a lite cartridge, and add bling. So I started with the Handy Man cartridge.
The challenge at Whimsical Wednesday was just to make a Father's day card/project, and this was certainly a project.
This is the front cover of a book that I made for my husband for Father's Day, I have not scrapbooked in the past, so this was by far the most intimidating project I have taken on. The house was cut at 10 1/4", and mounted on cardstock that was 8 1/2" X 4 1/4". I stitched the roof with white gel pen, and the picket fence and title are stitched in red. The windows were made with plain white cardstock and I brushed light yellow ink over them. The name on the front door was cut from the Pooh font cartridge, I don't know the size since I had to shrink it on my design studio. For the doorknob I used a brown button with ivory twine. The flowers in the window are from my Freshly Picked cartridge, but I added bling to the centers of the flowers and used glitter glue on the flowers and leaves. Lastly I used my binder to cut the holes and bind the book all together.
There are 3 parts of family memory keeping that are part of the crafting/scrapbooking world. First is Living History, what is happening now, the trip to the zoo, last years family reunion etc. Second, memories from days gone by, our ancestors, where they came from and how their experiences helped to shape us into who we are today, and finally staying in touch with the family that we have now, but don't see as often. I would like to spend a little time each week on all 3 of these.
