Here is my Birthday card for my Dear Sweet Dad who is turning 82! CAS and in colors that are masculine and remind me of him. Even with a doily and flower it has that right masculine feeling.
***Personal note - I JUST got back from my two week FAB birthday trip but I am leaving Wednesday morning to drive to my Dad's and hand deliver this card and his gift. This is one of those firsts - first birthday without my Mom. He's really blue so I'm hoping my visit and this card will cheer him (and me) up!
I also promise to get around to your blogs soon!
Have a GREAT week!
