Good morning Ladies and Pa!! Happy Friday. I have decided to make our last Daddy Week post a good one with lost of fun things. First and foremost, I have a picture of my dad (aka ScrapppingPa) working on one of his many dollhouse. This is I have to say is an addiction. He has probably made at least 20!!! The best thing is, he pays it forward. He always just wants the houses to go to a little child that will play with them. He never, ever charges for them!!!!
Outside and inside view of the dollhouse. He puts hardware floors, and wallpapers and paints the walls!!! Some of these house I want to move into.
Next I picked a layout I did of my grandfather, from pictures that my grandmother had. My grandfather was in WW2. I bought Special WW2 paper and embellishments and put this layout together. The picture of three people are my mom, my grandfather and my great grandfather. What an awesome picture for me to have!! I love the map paper as well.
Lastly this a card I made for my husband. Super, super easy. I used a StampinUP scalloped punch and punched out the back ground paper I used a circle punch to punch out the pictures. Some ric-rack and of course brown, I believe Close to Coco StampinUP paper. The little embellishment across the bottom is from My Minds Eye! The great thing about this card is I just made it, but my boys are now 10 and 15! So it doesn't matter the age, it is something my husband will have forever!!
Love em all!! That pa is sumpthin else. I've seen these dollhouses in person...they are beautiful! Yes, it is a great pic of you to have with the three generations on your WW2 layout. Love the FD card. Of course, I'm a fan of scallops anyway! Great job
ReplyDeleteWow! Great work!! Gotta love Pa. Girls, my DD has one of his dollhouses and it is amazing. Currently, all her littlest Pet Shop Pets reside in it. She loves it! Love that WW2 LO. You are so good at vintage! And the card is wonderful. He will love it!! BTW - wonderful photography of Pa and the houses! Excellent lighting!

ReplyDeleteoh my gosh if i could afford one to be shipped to my granddaughter I would buy one and make him take the money. My grand would flip over the work of art (house) You do not find many this good anywhere these days.
