Dad You Rock!

*If you are looking for the AnnaBelle Stamps Blog hop and Giveaway, see post below this one*

I’m back with a card that I made on behalf of my kids for my hubby’s birthday which was yesterday. He told me it is the best card I have made him – so I guess it gets the thumbs up! Gotta love that.

It didn’t take long to put together. The chevrons behind the cut-out letters is washi tape.
