"I'll get right on that order, dad!" LOL - You have some wonderful elements here to accent that sense of humor. Love the stitching and the misting. But I really dig the bricks of gold. Love the symbolism you have created. You are such fun!
Your Dad is so funny! I love that you scrapped the photos he sent you. You totally should go buy him Hotwheels cars in those models and give them to him.
Laura! I LOVE it! You thought of everything. I love the way you extended the brick sections by hand (nice work!) and your dad's note is too cute! Great job!!! :D

What an awesome layout for your Dad!!! Love his sense of humor, and your delightful way of creating something for your Dad that he will love, even though it's not the "real" thing! But that's what makes it even more special! Beautiful extension of the bricks and wonderful little car embellishments!
FANTASTIC masculine LO - HOW CLEVER.
EXCELLENT DESIGN & JOURNALING. Great work on the brick work, masking and embells too. Your dad got the biggest kick out of this WISH LIST.
I created this layout for my dad. The compass/star behind the photo pulls up to reveal hidden journaling, which says:
“January 31, 2012
“I wanted to order some scrapbooking items from a Canadian site, but I do not have Paypal. So I e-mailed dad with my order and asked him to place the order and pay with Paypal, and I'd pay him back in cash. Mom added to the order. Dad wrote me back this message, entitled “Order Update,” placing this order with me, in exchange. (He sent the photos too.)
“1 Ferrari [Enzo], like this
“1 Porsche Carrera
“1 Lamborghini Countach, like this
“1 33 Ford Street Rod, like this
“1 Locus Plethore (The Canadian Supercar), like this
“Let me know when they are ready for pick-up.
“Always the comedian....”
I used my Cricut Essential cartridge for the compass/star. I extended the brick by hand with MS markers. The key is hanging on a chain made from a stamp from "Mississippi Queen," Sharon, and it's covered with MS glitter. I stitched around the outside in two strips of black with yellow between it, which symbolizes a road surface. Also, the square stone reminded me of broken asphalt.
