So I made my father a special 80th birthday "Jacob's Ladder" card:
It features photos of him growing up from a small boy to the wonderful grandfather he is today. Stamps include "family treasure" with small jewels. Chipboard, ribbon, brads and rub-ons were also used to decorate it.
Last night we went out to dinner with the family, and when he opened it, my sister quipped, "There goes Martha Stewart again...."
:)
Beautiful work! And I hope you and your daughter are lucky enough to meet Phil :) We're big fans of TAR here...

Thanks Jill! Yes, he did like it; good thing I didn't give him the first one I made; I did something wrong with the ribbon and it didn't work :(
ReplyDeleteGood thing I had purchased triple the ribbon I needed; the first one got ripped up and the second try was the charm.
Beautiful gift. Love your work
