Today's F4A is to honor thy father. What a wonderful challenge! My Father is with the Lord now, but this card is to honor him. He was a Pastor and also a wood worker so I chose this, one of my favorite Scriptures (which is also a sneak peek at a new set being released June 1 by ODBD called "Good Man"). I'm excited about this release on June 1 (which incidentally is also the anniversary date of my Father's passing). The new dies include Workshop tools and other tools as well that you'll see soon I'm sure, and this fun pegboard and hooks die! I still have fond memories of all the toys my dad made every Christmas with his wood working skills. We didn't grow up with much money, but he always found the time to make beautiful doll houses, baby doll furniture, etc. Special fond memories of a wonderful man,my dad.
I paired this verse about God's plans for us with some fun BoBunny dp which has house and landscape plans on it. I thought it was the perfect match. The tools were die cut twice so I could cut the black handle pieces and add to the silver.
Thanks for stopping by!

This is a beauty, Grace. You used a perfect paper to coordinate with these wonderful new die cuts, and also one of my favorite scriptures. Beautiful tribute to your father.

Grace, this is such a special way to remember your wonderful, loving Dad. How special those toys must have been made with your father's hands. Your tools look so real.
