Stampin Up 80th Birthday card made by demo Beth McCullough.  24/7 Online shopping and card and gift ideas at www.StampingMom.com #StampingMom #cute&simple4u #simplestamping

My Dad will be 80 on Monday February 25!  I thought using the crazy colors of Mardi Gras and Glimmer Paper would make an extra special birthday card to show my Dad how much we love him!  Don’t tell him, but I made a card to fit in a business size (4″ x 9-1/2″ ) envelope so I could put all the gift cards we got him to his favorite area restaurants. 🙂

At the top of this post you can leave me a comment.  I love hearing from you!

My Dad helps me with my therapy dogs.  We visit Memory Care and Assisted Living.  He always works with Maya, our older pup.  He doesn’t usually wear an elf suit.

Dad had on the elf suit because right after we got done with Pet Therapy, he was one of Santa’s elves for the Christmas party.  Yep, my Dad is an awesome Dad, Grandpa, Pet Therapy visitor and a darn good elf!  Happy 80th Birthday Dad!!  Mom, your three girls, three son-in-laws and nine grandkids love you very much!

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

I look forward to the stories about your family. You have a very young looking Dad! I don’t see 80 there at all. Happy birthday to him.
