Happy Father's Day!!!!

Happy Sunday everyone!!!!
I just want to log on really quick and give a quick shout out to all the amazing Fathers out there and I am including single moms who have to play both roles.
I grew up in a single family home, where I didn't even know my father and my mom worked very hard to keep things in a functioning manner.
Then....many years later she married a man....an angel.....the man that I consider to be my FATHER.....MY DAD!!!
He means the absolute world to me!!!!!  He is the reason, I am who I am today!!!!!
He was tuff growing up....he was really hard on me....and believe me, sometimes I hated him.
However, being a mother and having kids of my own I understand why he did what he did.....
and it was all because he loved me. 
So thank you Daddy for being everything that you are and loving me the way that you do.....
Cause in many ways....I'm just like you!!
I LOVE YOU!!!
Here is the card that I made for him....
I used Raindrop Echo Design: Daddy's Heartbeat Sentiment
Tim Holtz Stamps and Ink
ZVA Creative Swirl
I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:
2 Sisters Challenge #44: For a Guy
CYDA challenge #22: Monochrome
Paper Creator's Crafts Challenge #1: For the Man

Thank you for visiting and we will see you again soon.

Hugs.
Calypso
