Dad's Birthday

Yesterday was my Dad's 75th birthday. My dad is out of town on a trip to California. I am actually so proud of my parents. They really haven't travelled very much and almost never by plane, but this time they went on an organized trip to the West Coast to visit the sites. The trip turned out the coincide with his 75th birthday so we didn't get to organize a big party but I think that he liked going on a trip instedad of having a party. So this card's for you Dad.

The challenge today on the Storage Units Ink and More blog was to use chipboard. Well, at first I didn't even know what chipboard was, but I learned that you can use your cereal boxes for this. So I got out my handy dandy Cricut machine and then inserted my Jasmine cartridge into the machine and selected this oval charm tag. Then I used designer paper from the DCWV Nana's kids stack ran my image through my Xyron machine to make it sticky to go on my chipboard. I stamped these images from Storage Units Ink and More and cut out and proped up with mounting tape. On the back I just used pink paper and stamped the sentiments from this same set. I colored all images with Prismacolor markers and highlighted with the Spica at You glitter pens. My ribbon is from American Crafts.
