Flashback Friday: Fathers Day Collage

Now that mothers day is over... its time to start thinking about the dads in our life! I've got an incredible (more involved idea) for you next week, but for now... check out this easy idea.

Here is the progression of photos we've taken over the years... {I can't show the new one until we give it on Fathers Day!}
Every year I just re-take the photos! I love it, becuase each year I can do an update, so easy! I did acutally buy letters this year, and I like the way they look. I just use Picasa for my edtiting and collages...FREE! Pick out a frame and you are finished!

Paper Flower Wreath

I made this beautiful springy/summer decoration for my home. I love when I can make something fast (one nap time) and with supplies I already had (scrapbook paper).

A few gifts...

Over the last week I've made and given a few gifts... I know I usually share a recipe on Monday, but I'm participating in a recipe round up and we will all be posting those on Wed... so this week I'm mixing things up a bit.
First, a couple of weeks ago I ordered a present for my mom... {Happy Mothers Day!}
JeniHarveyDesigns makes these adorable mugs... my mom always drinks out of jars, so I thought this was perfect for her.
I also made a couple of gifts... Several friends have May birthdays so I whipped up several camera strap covers... I loved this fabric...
need some labels like these? 
camera strap
 and for my Mother-in-law, who loves her Kindle... I whipped up this little cover.
kindle cover tutorial
I started by finding the dimensions fer her Kindle online. I added an inch to both the height and width. I also added extra on the top for the closure.
 
I wanted a pocket on the front. Start by folding your strip in half (not counting the top flap)... you can see the crease in the photo.  Sew a pocket (with a finished top edge) right sides together to the front, then flip up and stop-stitch. Should look like this...
Here is a view all folded.
Pin your lining right sides together and sew. ( I used minkie) I left the bottom straight edge open for turning.

 I wanted a button closure, so here is where I added that.
 all ready to mail!
