Now this girl has so many aliases I am not even going to try to name them all! I kind of like Russian Spy though. Anyhoo...we were to pick a card of hers to case that we might have a story to share. Well after much thought about which card to pick I landed on this one. Thoughts of Father - Faux Tile by Connie Jo9 at Splitcoaststampers Jo9
I have always loved this image. Somewhere in my childhood I have seen a car like this in our family. So it brought back wonderful memories of the men in my life...first and foremost my dad who was taken from me when I was only 21. Not a day goes by that I do not think of him. So you see fathers are very precious to me. When shopping or just doing errands ,walking in the park, whatever...whenever I see a dad with his children I think to myself...I hope they know what they have is golden. This also represents my dh as a father...who I love more every day. So Connie Jo! Congrats to you my dear friend! You brought back some wonderful memories today...they are what keeps me going. And no one deserves the crown more...you are not only talented but one of the sweetest gals on SCS. So wear it proudly! I may have to do another card....as you probably don`t want this masculine one!! But I just had to choose it today. Hugs! Judi For more info on the making of my card it will be blogged shortly. I am sorry for such a long post to those of you who took the time to read it all...I thank and appreciate you!!
Have a fabulous day!

I just LOVE this card, with the torn corner, the eye-dazzling charms and beautiful papers and colors! It's perfect for any father and a great CASE of Queen Connie Jo's card! Amen to fathers!!! Great story

As Bob Hope would have said, "Thanks for the memories." Oh, did I just date myself?! You have highlighted the main image so nicely with the sanded two tone bkgrd.

STALKER...are you stalking me...lol
Isn't that funny how we meet so often on SCS huh. I sometimes wonder if you didn't rig some microchip in the goodies you sent me and you are following my everymove. LOL
I do love your card though, that truck, you made it look soooo good. Ace colourer too, now what talents don't you have! Connie will just be thrilled by this card inspired by hers.
Thanks for sharing, should I call you Judi or 99...(wink)
