It is always easy for me to choose my favorite for the Dirty Dozen. Here is my "baby" Jason, kissing his first child, Jonathan- one of my favorite photos. Sunday will be Jason's first Father's Day and I am so proud of the strong, yet tender dad he is to Jon.
I used ODBD's Father's Day set, and also the new Spellbinder's to frame this treasured photo, and also incorporated Teresa Kline's beautiful sketch. The patterned bg paper has script that looks like cross stitching, and I used a zig zag stitch around the edges.
Hope you are able to join the Dozen this month and use this wonderful sketch!
Thanks for looking!

Oh, wow, Pat, your very personal card and story behind it brings tears to my eyes - it's a tribute to you and your husbands parenting that your son is such a good Father - what a very, very special first Father's Day card for your DS!!

Awww...Hallmark could NEVER make a better Father's Day card! This is truly awesome and so touching to use an actual personal photo as part of the design! Pat, you've been so sweet and welcoming and I want to thank you for all your kind words! It means a lot coming from such a talented stamper as yourself! Hugs!

Oh, Pat...how could this not be your favorite? What a heart-warming treasure of a picture...and how special for Jason to experience his first Father's Day...AND have such a special card to commemorate it! Your cards are always so full of life and love...it's no wonder that you've landed here on the pile. Loved spending this time with you...enjoy the rest of your time here...it goes quick!
