A "Classic" Birthday Card for Dad!

If you are looking for the Valentine's Day Card Blog Hop look HERE!


I can't tell you how long it's been since I made my dad a handmade personalized birthday card.  Last year I was preparing for surgery on his birthday after not being in a good place since December (everything is GREAT, now).  Before that I worked at a major card company and hadn't made my own cards for years!!!  

I recently created a 50's layout inspired by a Club CK One Hour Challenge.  The challenge was to create a layout inspired by a TV show or movie.  You can see the layout here.  While I was working with the classic car, I thought that it would be perfect for a birthday card for my step-dad, Dewey!  I'm so excited that I get to see him in a few weeks! 



  Foam tape was used on the "Route 66" sign and the car to add dimension.

I love the silver metallic Recollections cardstock for the accents.  
I buy several sheets each time it is on sale. 
I hope there is another sale soon, I only have a partial sheet left!

Grease Lightning!

The One Hour Challenge this week at Club CK was to create a layout using a tv show or movie as the inspiration.  I knew exactly which photos I wanted to use!  As I was making this, I wondered what I ever did without my Cricut!  I would be lost with it now.
