I want to share with you a project that I made for my husband for Fathers Day. I called it a Jar of Hugs, because it is just that. The little boxes inside were a scraplift from this project that I made a while ago.
I had the girls up early each morning for a week before school writing on little bits of paper what they love about their Daddy. My job was to then package them all up into little boxes and create the outside of the jar.
I decided to use an old mason jar and leave the lid seal off so that my husband could just reach into the jar and pull out a hug. The Fancy Pants Summers End range has beautiful neutral tones that are not too girly and therefore worked well for this project. The rubons were the perfect final touch. I cut the doily design in half and rubbed it directly onto the glass jar. A couple of xxx were used as kisses by the hearts and the words, so much to be thankful for, were rubbed onto the paper surrounding the back of the jar.
I have used Fancy Pants rubons before in a mini album that was made from fabric here. The Fancy Pants rubons are such great quality that they will transfer to just about anything. In the case of this project, glass.

Hope you week is going well. Mine is ..... and tomorrow I get to spend some time with one of my favourite people in the whole wide world, Rach i'm so looking forward to your visit.
