THE ART OF GIVING

THE ART OF GIVING: Thanks for stopping by and getting involved in this great opportunity. In starting off the new year, Christine and I decided to put together a challenge blog that would not only provide you with inspiration and free goodies, but to also let you know about the many ways we can "PAY IT FORWARD" to others in our lives...in simple and GIGANTIC ways. We hope that in combining both inspiration and giving to others, we can all make this world a better place, one layout, card, and gesture at a time. Thank you for taking this journey with us.

Dear Ol' Dad Challenge  

Monday, June 7, 2010

So the time is near to recognize our fathers, or our children’s father’s. Or as I like to call them, “our dear old dads”. They are good at fixing things and carrying heavy stuff, and yet, so much more. So this month we will recognize them …as we should!


Whether it is your own dad or the one who does such a good job with the kidlings, let’s let them know how much they are appreciated. This month our challenge is to make a layout, a card or even a gift showing the men or the daddies in our lives that they certainly are appreciated. Yes it is that simple. And the funny thing is..for doing so..one of you will still wind up getting a prize for doing so… now that ain’t half bad ;0) !

Here is what our Design team came up with this time around:

Illyse's Layout


Vicki's Layout

Julie's Layout


Christine's Card



And here is the fun prize just for you :0) some great chip board given to us from Cherry Arte and manly rub-ons from The Robin’s Nest !
 
This challenge will run from today, Monday, June 7 through Sunday , June 20th. A winner will be announced on Monday, June 21st. You’ve got just about 2 weeks to participate on this one, so get those projects, cards, gifts or layouts done and linked back to us. We can’t wait to see what you come up with.

    My girls and their husbands each had their very first Mother's day and Father's day this year! I couldn't pass up this opportunity to celebrate what awesome mom's and dad's they are!

    I made this card from an old photo of my father for him today. I wanted it to appear vintage and I feel I accomplished this. My dad was very impressed and he is not easily taken back!
