This first card is for my Mom - her birthday was on the 10th. She turned 76!! I used Tangerine Tango CS & DP and I just loved how this turned out in real life. The colour is my fave!!! I paper pieced her dress to match the DP and added glitter brads from Doodlebug. This Tilda is from the Valentine collection. 
This card is for my Dad - his birthday is on the 31st. He will be 77! Crazy!!! I am the youngest of 6 kids - my parents were 39 & 40 when I was born! My oldest brother was 18 and was already moved out by then! Anyways, on to the card! The stamp is Classic Car from Little Paper Shop - I coloured it with my copics then used the colorless blender to mess up the brown a bit to give it an old rusty look - not sure if I achieved that, but I think it looks ok! 
This one is for my Brother in law - his birthday was on the 12th. The image is from a TAC set that I want but someone sent me a bunch of images so that will have to do for now!! The sheriff badge was a stamp I got at Michael's ages ago. I totally covered it with Crystal Effects, then proceeded to stick my finger in it! DUHHHH!!! So it is REALLY thick!!! LOL Hope your week is going great - it's HUMP day today - only 2 days until the weekend!!! Which I will spend Sat. cleaning the house & Sunday visiting with family!!! Not sure if I will have a post from now till after that, so have a great weekend!!!

Cute cards. I LOVE the one you made for your Dad. Also sounds like we have some things in common. I am the baby of the family. My Mom was 40 and my Dad 55 when I was born.

Great cards! I love the twine!
My sister was born when my Mom was 40 and my dad was 48 and our oldest brother (of 6) was 20. I was born (#5) 6 years before my baby sis. Looks like we have another thing in common. :)
