Christopher Cross, Sailing
Unfortunately I was unable to see my Dad on Father's Day this year. He's been battling sinus infection after sinus infection for weeks now, and was just way to sick to come to our house or have any company. It's been kind of a rough year on him all the way around- he was in and out of the hospital, and lost his one leg to complications from Diabetes. There is one thing about my Dad though - he never gives up. One might say he's a little too stubborn for his own good ;) Now with his prosthesis, he can actually walk faster than I can ;)
The color challenge over at the CDAC is being hosted by Tiffany Doodles and is offering the cutest little sailboat for your creations for free if you play along. The color palette for this challenge chosen by Tiffany is:
I just love these gorgeous shades of blue, don't you?? I had a sentiment already in my arsenault from TLC to match my Father's tenacity and this adorable sailboat image (which Dad would love to have someday). I merged the word art from TLC with one of Meljen's Designs freebies, Little Stitched Cloud, printed out two copies and popped up the top cloud for dimension, although I'm not so sure you can see it in the picture.
No matter what the wind blows, my Dad always adjusts and keeps going; and I truly admire him for that.Recipe:

Hello Sweets. Well, your Dad sounds like a tough old cookie and I bet he loves this card. I do. The sentiment is so thought provoking, perfecto with the image and I am loving the shades of blue and gingham. All in all, I'd say this is one lovely card.
