Welcome to my blog and thank you for visiting Father’s Day Blog Hop with Two Scrapbook Friends. You should have arrived here from Jan's blog. Don't you think Jan's creation is fabulous?.
Today, I am going to show you; 'one of a kind' layout. The layout, I created for my boys' dad; my darling husband. I wanted to create something different, so I decided to include a bi-lingual approach. In our household, we use both language; ASL - American Sign Language and English in written format. Both of my boys are exposed to ASL and spoken language since they were infants. So I want to corporate a bi-lingual approach, three pictures of my boys signed "We Love You, Dad". You may spot tiny fingerspell stamped "D-A-D". And also I included "We Love You, Dad" in English text.
For the papers, I used Bo-Bunny Weekend Market, these papers are lovely and I wanted to use all of them. After thinking about what I can do with them, crazy quilt came to my mind and I decided to create some faux crazy quilts on large fonts. These papers are masculine and they are gorgeous to work with and use on any "dad" or men in your life.
Fingerspell stamped "D"
Don't you love Dymo labeller!..
My boys adore their dad and he will do many things for them, by playing with them, cuddling with them, helping them with their homework, and giving them some MONEY to buy some goodies.
I hope my creation give you some inspirations to create something of your own.
The next stop, you will hop to Ann's blog. Be sure to leave a comment on each blog in order to qualify to be in the draw for a prize. Enjoy the blog hops.
Happy Father's Day!
Happy Scrappy!
