Dad's Birthday

Well, we had a little impromptu snow storm yesterday.  I was really hoping it was all out of our system but Mother Nature snuck another one in on us.  Boo!  However, I must say this one was not bad AT ALL.  If you've got to have snow, this is the kind to have.  It snowed all day but only stuck to the grass.  Weird.  Most all of it is melted now.  In fact, downtown, where I work, it's all gone!

Onward and upward my crafty cohorts!  Spring is near and this will be the last icky weather...I'm sure of it!  Today's card is one I made for my Dad's birthday.  We celebrated on Sunday with sandwiches and brownies over at my parents house and the kids ran around and acted crazy, like normal.
I used another image from a children's book for this one.  I thought it looked a bit like the cowboy was singing.  Maybe Happy Birthday?  Let's pretend...  So I stamped PTI's Background Basics Music and layered that behind the vintage image, just to help my little daydream along.  I didn't put a sentiment on the front mainly because I couldn't figure out where to put it.  I really liked how big the cowboy image was and I didn't want to mess it up.  :)

And now for my underwear shot...(that's the inside of my card for those of you who don't know me well.  I feel like showing you the inside of my card is a bit like showing you my undies!)

Very simple, but it gets the point across :)

I worked late last night, already feel like this week is flying by.  Mike got the furniture piece painted AND glazed.  It looks amazing!  I'll try and take a picture soon.  I wish I would have taken a before picture...  Oh well.  Hope you have an awesome Tuesday and I'll see you all here tomorrow, same bat time same bat channel.  Thanks for coming to see me today!

  8. seems like you are just as busy as I am! Love that you used a children's book! I may have to go hunting at Goodwill for kids books to deface! Love the undies! You keep it up, and soon you'll be Vicky's Angel material LOL! Hope that the glazing and painting doesn't stink up the house too much! See you later!
