Written by Admin on May 16, 2008 – 8:17 pm -

If you have trouble viewing the video above here in the blog (I noticed I had that problem when using FireFox browser) you can watch it by Clicking Here. Video will open in a new window.

This is a fun and easy Dad’s Day Gift Project that you can easily complete. All you need is a small photo album, your photos, adhesives, stickers, and markers - and of course the other scrapbook tools that you use like decorative scissors, paper trimmer and such. Don’t be intimidated with this project - even beginner scrapbookers can complete this project. Make sure to have your kids help you complete this project - it will be more meaningful and a lot of fun. Watch your kids have fun and see how creative they can be. You could even have each child (if they are old enough) write a letter to dad for Father’s Day. You can adopt this idea for a Valentine’s Day, Birthday, Anniversary, and Christmas gifts.
