Create a quick and easy mini-book for a special man – or a special ‘dad’ in your life! I used a super-simple 6x6 format (explained below) to create this book in honor of my husband’s first father’s day. Pages are embellished using a range of Fiskars punches, and the new Leave it to Weaver border punch. This format will even allow for future photos – just include blank pages to add photos later (which I did – in order to add a fathers day pic later on!). And, finally - while this is a great way to celebrate dad on fathers day – you can also just use the 6x6 format to create any possible theme of book that you’d like!
