My Dad's the Greatest Blog Hop

Welcome to My Dad's the Greatest Blog Hop. Today we are honoring are Dads, Grandfathers, Uncles, Brothers, Husbands, or any special male father figure in your life. Do you remember your father being so big in your eyes that he could protect you from anything? He was the one who would BBQ or mow the grass, or do all the handy fixings around the house (that's my Daddy!). He was the one that would go off to work every day and come home tired and still had time to laugh and play. He was the one didn't mind if every Father's Day he got a tie or slippers - it was all about the love. Our Father's, our protectors. Today is their day to be honored with this fabulous blog hop. 

Today we have a handful of super talented women who would like to show that their Dad is the GREATEST! So, sit back, relax, grab your coffee and enjoy all the fabulous projects and stories.

There is this fabulous stamp set up for grabs too. All you have to do is be sure to comment on each blog in the hop to be eligible for the blog candy.

Before I get to the photo I would like to share a little something with you about my Daddy. From the time I was a little girl, my Daddy was the handyman. He fixed everything, built everything, etc. I LOVED the TV show McGuyver when I was young, and my Dad and I would watch it together all the time. I always told him that he was McGuyver because he could fix anything and make nothing into something! He, my Daddy, is my everything. Everything I know today, I learned from him! I'm thankful and grateful to have him in my life still, and for him to be in my boys' life too. I love him with all my heart and I will always be his "pumpkin". *tear* 

Now, on to my card for today. It didn't turn out exactly as I had envisioned it, but I still love it! The blog was a bit bigger then I expected it to be, and I thought it was going to fit on the tape measure perfectly but... it was slightly bigger than I anticipated. Ahh well... I still love it all the same! 

Ok.. Ok... here's my card now. 

I used plain Recollections Kraft cardstock for the card base, and I used Coredinations cardstock for the SVG tape measure, which you can find at Scraptastical Kreations. I wrote the "You measure up" sentiment.  

Now it's time for you to head on over to Nancy's blog and see what fab project she has to share with all of you. 

Thank you for hopping along with us all today, and we all hope you enjoy all the projects and are inspired in some way today. 

As Always - Gettin' Scrappy with It, 

Kristy
