Father's Day Tribute Video Titles

For my Father-In-Law's Father's Day gift I decided to give him a video of pictures of him and each of my kids as they were growing. The video ended up being about a half hour in length, but I was able to share some awesome pictures with him that we probably all forgot about.

Knowing I was doing a video, I wanted to have transition title images for each segment in the video. I did this by creating a scrapbook layout and then switching out just a few things for each segment. That way the video had the same feel to it, but it was changed depending on which segment was playing.

These are the layouts for each segment:

Mother's Day 2013

I decided before Mother's Day that I was ready to get back to the wood crafts. I had an idea in my head for my mom and so I headed out to Wood Connection to get what I needed. I also bought a few little things for myself that I've YET to even start on. (Maybe later today)

Anyway, for my Mom's Mother's Day Gift I gave her this:


Yes there are a couple of open spaces and that's because there's 2 babies coming by the end of the year (with one of them being mine, YAY!!!).

Family Birthday Board

So awhile back my husband pointed me to this link. The link was a picture of the family birthday boards you see all over Pinterest now. But we saw the thing way before they all started popping up. I took note of it as a good idea for a gift and put the idea aside.

This year for Christmas, I decided it was the perfect gifts for our mother's. They both loved it. So here are our family birthday boards:




Yes, my family is much bigger than the hubbies...He's 1 of 3 kids, I'm 1 of 7.

I found most of my supplies at one of my favorite places, The Wood Connection. I'm sure you can find all of them at your local craft store, however. The letters I used for the months, were in my scrapbooking stash for years, same as the ribbons. The twine used I found at Target in their scrapbooking aisle. I'm too lazy to go look at the paint right now for exact colors, but if someone wants to know - I will find it.

Father's Day Gifts

This project took me 3 months to complete and I was still cutting it close to the deadline.

Back in December my little sister did this for her hubby for Christmas. I bookmarked it and decided it'd be an awesome gift for Father's Day. My little sister first ran across this blog post and decided to make a photo book from it.

Yup, I totally stole her idea. I'm woman enough to admit it.

Like I said, I started this like in February and it took me till June to finish it. I got my hubby's done in time to get a photobook printed at Shutterfly, but my Dad's I didn't. I opted instead to make a video for my Dad. I think it worked better for him that way anyway.

I'll admit I didn't write down anything that I used because it was such a big project, but if you want more info like what kit I used and the fonts - give me the name of the page and I can track it down for you. I scraplifted most pages from Creating Keepsakes magazine.

Here's my Daddy's Video:

And here are the pages I did for my hubby:
