The teapotters are sending cards to Jacqueline's dad for is 80th birthday. Mine will be fashionably late coming from Canada as his birthday is April 19th. The challenge was to use octagons or hexagons. I went with blue his fave color and a police car as he likes police dramas. I wonder if he watches Blue Bloods, a great police drama that has been going for 13 seasons. We just started watching it so got the DVD's from our library to start right at the beginning. I hope he gets a kick out of all the cards being sent to him!

Fun card for Dennis! How cool that you have a police car stamp! You've used lots of great dies to personalize with his age and initials and you even have hexagon dies, too!

Great colour combo, I think orange and blue are great together. Isn't the library great for DVD sets. No TV here and I couldn't be bothered with streaming on the PC, so the library is my main source.

My dad DOES watch Blue Bloods! That is a great image of the police cruiser. Looks legit. I like the personalization you added. Thanks so much for helping us celebrate.

I'm loving these colors together -- what a great visual they make. I immediately thought you nailed it for his love of police dramas when I saw the police car -- what a great stamp. And then you added all that personalization -- fabulous card.
My hubby is a big Blue Bloods fan too Enjoy your binge watching.
