Here in Australia we celebrate Father's Day the first Sunday in September - so that's the theme for this fortnight's challenge over at Magnolia Down Under. I know a lot of our international friends celebrate this day at a different time - but why not get a head start for next time - or just send a card to your dad to let him know you're thinking of him!!!Now here I may lose a friend or two...I'm not a huge Twilight fan - I have tried to read the books and have seen the movie twice, and own it!!! - but it's just not ME. I do however admit to being a Harry Potter fan - and this little Edwin has always reminded me of him - I am always tempted to add a little zig zag scar to his forehead! I haven't added the scar but I did add his owl Hedwig to my card - LOL.
My dad would have loved this card were he still with us. He was a professor - not from Hogwarts - but the theme is there! I've used my brand new Stars embossing folder - 'cause my dad was the biggest star I know! And because he was larger than life to me the letters had to be too. It's times like these I think of my dad and all the things I miss about him - so a little bit of fun with some cardstock was a great way to enjoy some of the fun memories.
Hope you can spend some time honouring your dad and join us over at MDUC.

Your dad would be so glad to know how you still think of him and miss him... and somehow I think he DOES know. What a beautiful tribute, Debbie. Truly.
I haven't seen Twilight. I tried to read the book, but it didn't grab me. Perhaps I'm just too...gulp...old? Nah! We're big Harry Potter fans around here, too, though.
Your card is adorable in every way. I just love the way you tilted the "a" and sat the owl there, and Edwin in the D. You are amazing!!!
Hugs and love across the miles,
Lisa
