Festive Friday Challenge

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  I love being a designer for Festive Friday and this week’s challenge #FF0028  is Mardi Gras  (Mar 5) and/or Glimmer Paper.   #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card or 3-D item and join us.  If you need help figuring out how to enter, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d love to help you.

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 🙂
