It was really fun putting this together. I kept it really simple as far as products used. I used the same patterned paper set that i used to make his cards and chose coordinating card stock. I cut everything to the size I wanted, rounded corners on one side and adhered everything together. I used my Crop-a-dile to punch holes, and once I wrote my 'offerings' (keeping things clean for now - this was a family day after all, lol) I put them all on a large binder ring.
This is something really fun to do, and it helps to use products you already have on hand. I tried to make some of them cute and funny, below are some of my favourites. Make sure to take note of the 'fine print', lol:
I made quite a few of these, it pays to be creative and any family member would enjoy receiving something like this!
I'm entering this into the following challenges:
- Color Throwdown - Ridinghood Red, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze
