Another Family Shadow Box

This shadow box was created for my Uncle Joe who turns 80 a week after my dad.  

He always hated having his picture taken

These photos are of my mom and him on his High School graduation, his mom and dad 

and younger sister, Kathy, as a child (This picture was entered in a cute kid contest but I don't know if she won or not)

Happy 80th Birthday Uncle Joe!

Happy 80th Birthday to the Man I am fortunate to be able to call DAD

Daddy,
I love you, Happy 80th birthday.  We have shared so many good times as a family and I am blessed to have you as my dad.  Wish we could have another 80 years together but since that is not possible we will enjoy every day, cherish our memories and create new ones!  I love you Dad!

Wasn't he handsome in his (I assume) high school graduation picture?

This is a picture of him holding our youngest daughter who turned 15 in March

She looks to be less than a year old so my dad was around 70 here

Here is the shadow box I made for him.  All photos are color reproductions of the originals (copied on my home printer on to Stampin' Up naturals white and ivory papers.  

The small school photo was taken in 1944, when he was 11 years old

My parents have been married 58 years

That is me (with the bad haircut) holding my younger sister, 

I look to be about 4 years old so that was probably around 1961

Family memories!  Hope you have some

Calla Lily Card

I totally cased this Calla Lily card

It is made using the ORNAMENT PUNCH

 

TO CREATE THE CALLA LILY'S

Punch 3 ornaments out of whisper white

Edge the ornaments with ink which coordinates with your card stock

(I used some OLD designer paper and tangerine tango)

Using a pencil curl the edges away from you

Pinch the "top" of the ornament (this is the bottom of the flower)

together and secure with Tombow glue

Cut a thin strip of coordinating color for the stamen and glue in place

Allow flowers to dry

Adhere flowers to card base using dimensionals

 

Punch leaves out of assorted green card stock using the bird punch

arrange around your Lily's

Add a decorative bow

Using the Modern Label and word window create a sentiment for the front of the card.

 

Happy Easter!
