Father's Day Scrabble Board & Tie Card

 

Father's Day scrabble board.

 

For an activity days activity earlier this month, we made scrabble boards as a Father's Day gift.

Using foam boards I cut into 10 x10 squares, the girls cut 12x12 scrapbook paper down to size and glued it onto the board.  Then using a planning sheet I printed out, they figured out what words they wanted to use and how they wanted to lay them out.  The tan squares are 1 inch square written on with a black marker using scrabble letter values with the letters and adhered with a foam sticker thing to add some dimension. All the supplies needed were on sale at Hobby Lobby, yay,  so it didn't cost much.

 

Some ideas here, and here.

 

We also made tie cards.

Directions here and here.

I used the printout from A Day in My Life so that the girls could make them at home too.

 

There are some cute google card ideas here and here.

A grandfather is...

My SIL (she's in Utah, we're in Texas) called me up Thursday wondering if I thought we could get something like this put together for our FIL in time for Father's Day/his birthday.  Well, I'm happy to show you we did!

The frame opening is 12x24 (from Hobby Lobby) with a cream mat board for the background and foam board for the backing.  The pictures are 3x5's mounted on foam board so that they stand out from the background. The grandfather saying is brown vinyl in the font gabriola.  I tried to snap a decent photo of it in the lovely evening, indoor lighting in my living room.

I'm really happy with how it turned out and am excited to give it to my FIL tomorrow.
