Well, after a bit of a break from blogging, I finally have something to post. My father has just turned 85 years old and a party is taking place tomorrow. He also just bought himself a new car! I hope I still feel like buying a new car at that age. This is a picture of him as a young man and the little boy in the upper left corner is him at about 5 years. I used some papers from a Tim Holtz stack and the car of course is one of his stamps. A bit of weathered distress ink, some 7 Gypsies stamps and a couple of expressions and the card is ready. Hey Dad - blow your horn and celebrate! Cheers!
