I've been fretting for a week or two that my Father's Day shadow box is looking a little lonely - I needed to add something to the table decor for this theme. Enter My Pumpkin Challenge #2 - besides making a Paper Pumpkin Kit shine, try and pull in the theme of tags or banners. This immediately made me think of that cute standing tags banner we did for Valentine's Day - tags and banners in one swoop!
I made "Pater Familias" in same way we did that project (you can find those instructions here, if you missed it!), but using the same general color scheme used on the shadow box - except for using the papers from the latest Paper Pumpkin kit - Good Life! This opened up some new color options, but it still goes well with the other decor. Yay! All the little stickers were fun to play with, too - but still manly! Hubby is a big "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" fan!
Make sure to visit My Pumpkin Challenge to see what other cool "off-label" goodies folks are coming up with!
