But today, I was able to spend a little down time on the computer and look around in blog land (Yeah!) and saw this CI at KWerner's Blog. Since Father's Day is just a couple days away, I thought I would take advantage of it and get busy in the stamp room.
This card is more of a heart-felt card than a creative card. Since it is for my 85-year-old Daddy, I know what matters most to him is what's on the inside...not so much all the "hoop-la" that can actually go into a card. I actually will spend way more time writing in it that I did creating it. I'm so glad I have my Dad.
I typed the sentiment and printed it off on the computer. He truly has a great legacy. He was a WWII hero (in my eyes), married my mom, and had us. He was an incredibly hard worker...owned his own business and farmed on the side. He taught his children how to work hard, save for the important things (rather than buy on a whim, but somehow I think I missed that lesson ;>LOL), how to respect those in authority, and most importantly, how to be wise and discerning. Now that I am an adult, I SO enjoy having a cup of coffee with him and just talking. I can still learn so much from him. He is quiet by nature, but when there is an important issue, he can be driven beyond all measure. He is a good man, and he has taught me how to love Christ. How to BE like Christ, simply because he is like Christ. It's amazing how the ripple effects of just one man truly can reach the world...for the good.
So, Dad, Happy Father's Day from the bottom of my heart. I love you dearly!
TTFN,
Debi

So sweet and awesome coloring!
Beautiful. Great job on coloring.
What a beautiful card, (from the inside out)! I never got to know my dad, because he died when I was very young, but I wished my dad and I could have had a relationship like you and your dad do! But your dad sounds so much like my husband with our kids, so I pray they will continue to have a realationship like that! :)
You have a beautiful card! Love the bunnies! What you wrote about your father is very sweet! We are blessed to have wonderful fathers!
Such a sweet image and sentiment and nice coloring too! Your Dad may love what is on the inside, but you may want to show him this post as well....its a wonderful tribute to him!:>

Thanks for visiting my blog! You know, I envy you that you don't spend so much time on the computer. It's become something I feel glued to all day now and I want that to stop. Habits! Ahhh! Ha!
