Friday Challenge: What’s In A Name?- LINDA JO is Winner!

Moderator: Golda

March 6th is "Fun Facts about Names Day"
My challenge is for you is to create anything made from paper (card, tag, wall hanging, etc.) that incorporates a name… plus includes a fun fact or definition related to that name.

For my samples I made a Dad card… and two items for the children of a dear friend that she can frame and hang on the wall or slip into a scrapbook. (The Dad card includes an upcycled greeting card with a vellum overlay, and the Abbie and Hope items included stickers, scrapbook letters and assorted background papers. Each has an opening into which a photo can be slipped.)

Note- I found my funny dad definition on a Pinterest search, and meaning of Abigail and Hope’s names via some web surfing. Didn’t take much time to research and I’m sure it will make them feel special!

In case you are having trouble coming up with definitions... you don't have to use a specific name.
You can use more general names/titles such as Nana or Friend (samples below)
or even define names of hobbies (such as fishing below )
or even things (such as boat below)

Mainly want to say that you aren't limited to peoples names. Have fun! (I found all of these samples via web surfing. Tshirts often have touching or funny definitions from which to choose!)

Grandchild: “One who fills a place in your heart you didn’t know existed.”

Nana: (năn’ǝ), noun. 1. Source of infinite hugs and kisses, 2. Maker of warm cookies with big glasses of milk, 3. A mommy with lots of frosting, 4. Licensed to spoil.

Friend: “A person who can make you laugh till you pee your pants.”

Mother: (Muhth-er), noun. “One person who does the work of twenty. For free.” (See also: masochist, saint.)

Geezer: (gē-zer), slang. Not young. Not old. Somewhere in between.

Boat: (bōt), noun. A whole in the water in which money is thrown.

Fishing: (fish’ing), noun. The action of casting, spinning, trolling or jiggling while freezing, sweating, swatting and/or swearing.
