Daddy's day

Tomorrow is my dad's birthday...Happy birthday dad!

This morning as I thought about my dad's big day, it dawned on me that I never shared my Father's Day project with you all last month! In my defense, June was a crazy busy month. Please don't hold it against me. I'm pretty amazed I was even able to do a Father's Day project this year.

Without further ado, here's what I made for The Dear Sweet Husband for his third(!) Father's Day.

The idea certainly wasn't my own. I have Sharilyn, over at Lovely Design, to thank for developing the design (and for being prepared a few days ahead of the game giving me enough time to whip it up at the last minute).

What I love about this project is that it's a great use for the stack of artwork Abner's brought home from daycare over the last few months. She's so proud of all of the pieces, but I have to be honest, I don't really know what to do with 60 or so pages of scribbles and paint smears. Now I feel less guilty about recycling the rest of the artwork pile since I was able to pick out five of her brightly coloured pieces and integrate them into the design. It's like we worked on the piece together without actually working together.
