My card is for my Father. He will be 88yrs old and on Sunday married 65yrs to my wonderful Mother. I am so very fortunate at my age to have "Both" of my parents.
My dad was a farmer while I grew up, and in the late 1930's thru the 1960's he had a Dance Band. Travelled all over Iowa with a group who played the "Old Time Music" Dad was the singer, played clarinet, alto & tenor Saxophone. So his card is kind of a reminder of the "Good Ole Days"
My card is a Reversible Tag made from Cardboard, Fibers from my Stash. Scalloped Punch, Flower Punch, Tim Holtz Distressing Tool, and Ink, Musical Stickers by Karen Foster, Sentiment from Verve.

Thanks for stopping by my blogspot. This was a great card to make, because I just know Dad will be excited. He has a gift none of us girls inherited, to be able to Sing loud and clear, and play any instument without music and keep people entertained. And down deep I know he'd just LOVE to still be doing it all "Like the Good Old Days" !!!!!!!!
Enjoy your week and stop by the blogspots for some good enjoyment from all their DT's.

Fantastic Sylvia! Love the vintaged look of this tag. How cool that you found a clarinet sticker for this. I would have loved to hear your father's band. Once upon a time I played clarinet too. (Although not very well...hehehe)
Glad to have you back at A Crafty Little Place.
Smiles!

Oh my goodness, what a great way to end my evening with your blog posting! 88 and 65 years married, how BEAUTIFUL is that?! I love his story of his early music years, my dad was part of a singing group too. Amazing how full their lives were before we existed. ;) Wonderful project here, the distressed inks work perfectly for this piece. Thank you so much for joining us at our Guys challenge over at ACLP!
