Memories of You

This week's Paper Blooms challenge is to create a project for a dad or special man in your life.

My dad died when I was little, so a card was out of the question, and I don't scrapbook, so...I finally decided to create this keepsake tin to hold memories and photos of my dad. This is a versatile project that you can create for any special person, not just a dad.

I decorated the front of the tin with this definition stamp, some silver pearls, and of course, one of Leah's blooms.

Then I made some simple cards to slip inside the tin.

You can write special memories on each one. I think this would be a great way for each child or grandchild in your family to write down their thoughts. There's room to add photos or other mementos, too.

Wanna play along? Just link your finished project to the Paper Blooms blog. You do NOT need to own any Paper Blooms to play along, but if you've got some, we'd love to see 'em.
