Now that John (Alan's Dad) has received his birthday card, I can share it here with out fear of ruining the surprise!
This is the card I made for him using the little digitally colored image I made earlier this week. This was a fun way to incorporate art on a card without a lot of stamping. (Never mind the hours it took for me to digitally color the image...) Fun fun!
The dots on the background are from the Happy Birthday Whipper Snapper set, and the sentiment is from 29 Again, also from Whipper Snapper.
Tonight Alan and I drove his parents up to Dallas to have dinner with Alan's brother Steve, and his wife Susan who were in town for a couple of nights. We all enjoyed a nice dinner at YO Ranch Steakhouse, in downtown Dallas. Thanks for the fun!
HOw cute and fun!! Hope all is well and you are safe and sound!!

My brother in Lewisville said they were getting western edge of Ike, not much wind, lots of rain. Hope you're doing as well in Milford. Hope your FIL loves his card!

Nice thing about the digital images is you can recreate or mass produce the card with minimal effort!! Now that's my idea of "easy peasy" !! Very cute.
Hope you, Alan and all of the animals fair the weather o.k.!
