My project is a Father's Day card for my hubby, and features papers from the Ruby Rock-it "Keepsake" line.  All the papers were put together with Helmar Acid Free Glue.

These fun chipboard ties and chocolate brown tag are from the Fundamentals line.  I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry on the chipboard and ribbon.
