Father’s Day Gift…

June 8, 2009, by {Jen}

Happy Monday! If you were over on the Verve blog on Friday, you already saw the project that I have to show you today here. I made this Father’s Day gift for the Verve June Project Parade, which is going on now through June 19. The theme this month is “Celebrating the Men in Our Lives.”…lots of ideas for Dad’s Day!

This started as an unfinished wood block photo holder from Michael’s that I picked up a few months ago for $1. I cover it in paper from Pink Paislee {”Fascinating” line}. Then I added the buttons and sentiment {from the new Dad’s Day set} in the oval Nestabilities. The sentiment panel is sponged with Ranger Distress Tea Stain, adding more to the rustic-y/masculine look I was going for. Not counting the stamps, since I can use those over and over again, this project cost me about $3. Not too bad! If you want to play along with the Verve Project Parade, you can have a chance to win a $25 Verve gift certificate! Also, Julee is giving a $25 gift certificate to a random commenter! How easy peasy is that!?!

See ya tomorrow for TCP Tuesday! :)

    Such a sweet project for dad! My dad is 77 and always loves getting pictures for gifts. This would be a great gift to include with a couple recent family prints I took recently. Thanks for sharing the idea….soo cute!
