Tonight we celebrated my Dad's 74th Birthday. It was a really nice time to get together with my immediate side of the family, have a meal together, celebrate his life, and the gift of another year. Just over a year ago my Dad was in the hospital with serious complications from heart disease. That always puts things in to perspective for me. He's doing much better now, but we know that every day, every year is a gift - for all of us!
I pulled out a couple of PTI sets to create this more masculine and yet kind of funky birthday card. I haven't ever had a chance to use these number dies from PTI but boy are they great! Perfectly personalized :)
Happy end of 2011 everyone! We'll be keeping it low key here, hangin' with the kids and our daughter's twin best friends over for the night.
Thanks for the blessing of knowing you this year! I look forward to another year of creativity with you in 2012!
