Paper Castle

Today is my father in law George’s 70th birthday.  To celebrate, my mother in law has rented a hall where people can drop in to wish him a happy day.

You have to understand who George is to appreciate the  humor of the card.  He is without a doubt the best father in law in the world.  I secretly call him Archie.  He likes to pretend he’s cranky like Archie and he even has the “oh geez” down pat!

Whenever we get together it’s a lot of fun bickering and one upmanship.  I let him win sometimes LOL  A few weeks ago he said or did something that caused me to reply with “George!  I do NOT like you any more!”  Ever since then he keeps asking me if I like him again, and I keep telling him I’m thinking about it LOL

Want to put a face to the name?

Not so scary after all huh?  But he looks like Archie don’t you think?

So, I set off yesterday to make him a card that he’ll both laugh at and remember.   My friend Donna suggested an “older than dirt” theme.   I had been playing with the idea of “old goat”.  Donna also suggested a shaker.  So . . . this is what I came up with.

By the way, it’s 8 1/2” x 8 1/2” to allow room for everyone to sign it.

Zoe spent considerable time with her quality inspection.  I think it passed because after she finished she promptly laid down upon it an declared it hers.

This was such a fun project to doo and I can’t believe it took the whole day LOL  I think I might have over thought it just a little.

This what’s going on the inside after it’s all signed.  I have an extra panel to accommodate all the names.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
