Father's Day Mini Album...

This has been such a fun, easy mini album to make. All the guys in my house, remember I live with four of them, said they would add photos and journaling, notes they would rather call them, to this mini album.  I got the idea for this mini album from a book I saw at my local bookstore which was about dad's tools. I already had the paper stack in my stash, so it was an easy decision to create this great Father's Day mini. The complete details will be available on my YouTube channel on Friday and a kit will be posted this weekend so that you too can make this mini album in time for Father's Day.

I only did one page, I think it was, of embossing and it was tiny grunge board accents.  The paper is DCWV The Guy Stack and is already embossed with great textures and elements, so I didn't rubber stamp, distress or emboss any of the pages or tags.  The ribbons and fiber I already had on hand as well as the embellishments. I used a thumb tack on one page so I had to buy the flat ones to use.  I also purchased a hammer charm for the binding too and added a vintage key, a Tim Hotlz gear on a swival clasp.

Father's Day is truly a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the fathers we have. My father passed last August, but I have been tremendously blessed with memories of my dad, grandfathers and most of all the ultimate Father of all to be with me every single day.

I wish each of you and yours a wonderful happy Father's Day!
Love, Blessings, and {{{Hugs}}}
