DADDY WEEK DAY 5 - LOTS OF GOODIES!!

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!!
