Monday Challenge – Father’s Day!
By char on May 19, 2008 in Monday Challenge
Today’s challenge is as much for me as it is for any of you. I have been working on a couple of gift ideas for my husband, dad, and dad-in-law for Father’s Day, and I sat to look at the calendar last night and realized…um.. I better GET BUSY already if I plan to have these projects done. Yes, we do still have a few weeks, but you all KNOW how fast time goes by, right? And with the end of the school year coming, and all the hectic-ness that comes with that – Father’s Day will be here before we know it.
I’m notorious for having GREAT ideas, and then running out of time to implement them. (Just ask my sister who had a birthday on May 2nd, and is STILL waiting for her present). (She will love it when she gets it, but it’s a bummer she couldn’t have received it on her birthday)!
So… are you planning a project, a present, a great idea for Father’s Day? My challenge to you today is to work on it a little today, a little tomorrow, and get it done this week! Have you not even THOUGHT about Father’s Day yet? Well, my challenge to you is to think about it today… work on it tomorrow… and get it done this week! Take it from me, it’s no fun waiting until the last minute. Getting the “digi” part done THIS week will leave you plenty of time for constructing any hybrid parts, or printing any books and/or layouts.
Also, I’d love to get some links to great hybrid or just plain’ ole digi-scrap ideas for Father’s Day gifts. Or super templates for Father’s Day layouts. So put your thinking caps on, or get your fingers moving and share a comment with your ideas or links.
Let’s make this even more fun (because you KNOW I like to do giveaways!). If you leave a comment with a link to or an idea for a Father’s Day gift, I’ll enter you in a little giveaway. I’ll leave comments open on this until Thursday, and I’ll pick one random winner to receive a $5 gift certificate to the digi-shop of the winner’s choice.
Happy Scrappin’ Folks!







I blogged about a Father’s Day gift I’m working on last week. I got the scrapbook tumblers from Aladdin just a couple of days after I ordered them. Now I need to get started on filling the templates with pictures – the hard part is finding the time to do all the “fancy stuff” I was envisioning doing with the pictures.
BTW – if anyone wants the png templates for the Aladdin tumblers I have them available on my blog: http://www.digiscrapreview.wordpress.com

I started some tumblers for the Dads, DH, and DS’ teacher for an end of the year gift. Here’s the direct blog link to what I’ve done so far http://householdsixx.blogspot.com/2008/05/tumbler-inserts.html
The plan is to make a few different inserts and then send them more for other occasions throughout the year.

I ordered a watch from Artscow for my DH – it’s coming from Hong Kong. I hope it makes it here.
I am also thinking about getting home videos transferred to DVD for him, but it’s $20 a tape and takes about 5 weeks. ( A little late now!)
But I haven’t figured out what to get for my dad. He doesn’t even like getting presents, so he’s a hard one to shop for or decide on what to make.
