Good morning! It's nice and early here in NZ, the sun is shining, it's going to be a lovely day. Before I get stuck into something creative I thought I'd share a project I whipped up as part of Shanan's anniversary present - I'm calling it a "Yum Book"!
It's SO hard to craft presents for guys sometimes. This is a quick and simple way to make something a little goofy but fun for the man in your life.
WARNING - this post is predicated on both you liking to cook for hubby, and him liking your cooking *wink*

I printed off a bunch of coupons I made in Microsoft Publisher. I think there is 16 total. Shanan loves brunch in the weekends and baking anytime - so I've included all his favs. Rather than stamping the coupons (I said this was a quick project) I decorated them very simply with a little piece of
Urban Garden DP in the margin. The coupons are perforated using the little tool on the
Cutter Kit.

I've used the
Crop-a-Dile to punch holes through the coupons and cover and put it all together with a couple of rings. I've used more
Urban Garden DP, crimping some with my underused but loved
Crimper. I used the
Wild West Alphabet to stamp the sentiment. The stamping on the medallion is a stamp from the
Wanted set.

Shanan loved this! There are SO many things you could do with a gift like this. It's school holidays here in NZ at the moment, and this would be perfect for outings or activities to do with kids.
