Today we were told to "man up" for this challenge. We were supposed to make something masculine and perhaps a Father's Day card.
I think that perhaps I have found a way to use the Timeless Treasures set. I love antiques and vintage things. My dad was the one who got me interested in them. For his Father's Day card I used a picture of his dad holding him, and a picture of him with his arm around me and my sister. I made a collage using some of the vintage things around them. It won't be long and we will all be getting kind of vintage. I hope my dad "gets" my thoughts when he looks at this card.

Kim this is so sweet. Your dad will love this and I'll bet he gets tears too. Love the twine/button treatment and the antuques. Great card for today's challenge.

You look like your dad! LOVE this. How thoughtful and meaningful this will be for your dad. I can't think of a better card for him....and don't you go overthinking it! All of your elements fit together absolutely perfectly and I betcha can't guess what my favorite thing is????? Yep, the twine...and the photo of your, your sis and dad.
