The Men We Love - Papercraft Star Blog Hop


Hi all and welcome to Papercraft Star's First Anniversary Blog Hop sponsored by Tradefish Designs!!


In celebration of our First Anniversary, and in honor of Father's Day as well, our theme for this Papercraft Star Hop is "For The Men We Love".  Our Design Team has created some fabulous projects that feature stamps from Tradefish Designs, a company devoted to creating stamps with masculine themes, imagery and sentiments. We are especially happy to partner with TradeFish Designs for our Anniversary Hop as both the company and stamp designs are owned by our very own Cecilia Stephens! 

We have a fabulous prize for our Blog Hop randomly selected winner as well; the entire May 2011 Release Bundle of Tradefish Designs Stamps (a $55.00 value!).... to qualify for the prize you will need to do the following:

Be a follower of Papercraft Star.
Be a follower of Tradefish Designs.
Leave a comment at every stop along the hop.

Now on to the our Hop! You should have arrived here from the lovely and talented Kim. If this is your first stop, please head to Papercraft Star to start from the beginning.

Junk Journals and mini albums are all the rage right now, so today I would like to share with you a Junk Journal that I created for my husband for Father's day. To create this journal, I used the Happy Father's Day stamp set by Tradefish designs, some paper, cotton thread, a large needle and an old ABU top!

You will find photos and a video below.

I used the Happy Father's Day stamp set (TradeFish Designs) to create the gift tag on the front of the journal and for the first entry into the journal.









Still want to know more? Watch the video below.

Oh Regan - you always are my "go-to" darling, always so willing to jump in and do the extra. So many times you have come through, and you never give me any cause for worry. EVER. I don't say thanks enough either.

Your journal is so wonderful, so very very clever. Can't you imagine someone coming across this in 100 years and knowing all the love that went into it. Very special. !!!

Regan, this junk journal is totally AWESOME. You have totally inspired me to make not just one, but several of these. I loved the video, thank you and I will be referencing this as I make my first journal. I just love Tradefish stamps and how they are perfect for men. Thanks for sharing your journal. Have a great day.
