Happy Father's Day! Vintage Tim Holtz Style Card!

My Dad passed away in 2000, I always miss him more on Father's Day. Anyways I still wanted to make a card in his honor. He was an artist so he would have loved a piece like this.




 I have a funny story to share. My friend was having a yard sale so I gave her a box of stuff and said here this is stuff I don't want anymore. Just a box of stuff. Well a few weeks later I started noticing on a few blogs that sequin is coming back and was super bummed out when I remembered I put a completely full large Ziploc bag of all my sequin in the yard sale box. I figured it had been so long it was never coming back. SO it went back on my list of wants. Well last week a different friend said Hey I have some old craft stuff in my car do you want to look at it before I take it to GoodWill. I told her no thanks I have enough stuff. But she ended up coming over and said just take a look before I get rid of it. And so I did... and there inside her box of junk was my Ziploc baggie of Sequin!! It was meant to be!! LOL I was so excited to have my sequin back. 

So this just adds to my hoarding craft supplies, everything will eventually come back!!
