Father's day frame

So, Fathers day is closing in and I now have my father and the father of my children to attend to on the fine holiday. Since my Father would never take time on a regular basis to open and enjoy a photo book, I have made up a multi picture frame for his wall. I used Graphic 45 Botanicbella papers and ribbons from a paper wishes Steampunk set with twine and buttons from my Boys Rule kit from May.

It is more challenging to work within index card sized area than the standard 12x12 layouts.

My Angel

I had a wonderful opportunity to use the Blue Awning pages I bought, just because I liked them. I had waited and waited for Joann's to have the right discount and the right coupon to justify the purchase. I used my grape vine die cut from spellbinders to make the vine in the back. The flowers, leaf stalks and butterfly I cut from the papers. The rub on words, chipboard word, papers and buttons are all Blue Awning collection.  I used a sketch from Boys Rule Scrapbook Kits by Jenny Evans as a guide. 

MME Brad Challenge

I recently picked up the My Minds Eye Lost and Found 2 set for the wonderful sunny yellows and patterns that were not to feminine. I knew I had pictures of the boys with their Grandpa on their bikes that would match with the paper. I used the Lost and Found 2 brads, papers, burlap ribbon, ticket and a stamp from the collection. The sentiments from the papers, stamp and ticket perfectly capture how much their Grandpa loves them. I used a sepia ink pad to edge the matting and to grunge to main paper. Thank you for your time.
