They Say It's Your Birthday

Hello!  This week my dad celebrated his 78th birthday.  When making a card for his special day, I decided to make two birthday cards at the same time - 1 for him and 1 for my stash.

I enjoyed coloring this cute penguin from 2 Cute Ink.   I used a few pieces of DP left over from a paper pad and some washi tape.  The sentiments is from a very old Stampin' Up set.

This is a photo of my dad my brother took earlier in the week.  3 days after finishing radiation therapy, he is up this ladder caulking a crack in the cross bar.   I swear he never sits still.

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you have a fabulous day!
