Sunday was my dads birthday. It was late Saturday when I remembered. Did I have an appropriate card in my stash? Unfortunately for me, that was a big N-O.
Tired as I was, I decided to whip something up with paper and stickers. I'll be the first to tell you, I am NOT a sticker snob. I know as we grow and develop as crafters and move on to other, more advanced techniques, sometimes we leave behind our first loves; stickers.
I've got quite the stash. In fact, the accordion binder that holds my stickers is literally bursting at the seams. Even now, if I see a cute set or set of words I like, I'll grab it. Especially if it's on clearance!
This card took me 2 minutes to make. Yes, 2 minutes. I used a Grandfather set from Me and My Big Ideas that had a brown crushed velvet type material and paired it with some scrap designer paper. I had previously made that twine bow (May Arts Ribbon) and it was perfect for this card.
And Pop was all a grin when my child gave it to him.

Lesson here? Don't be a sticker snob. They might just save the day.
