I've probably told this story before but, when I was growing up, I toured with a Drum & Bugle Corps. Invariably, I'd come home from all over the US dragging little presents for my family. Poor Dad still has some of the cups I brought him. My fave is the one from Disneyland with Mickey Mouse on it. But I digress.... Dad still loves his coffee (not strong enough unless a spoon stands up in it!) so I decided to go with a coffee theme. The SSS cup stamp is outline only but I added the "Cool Dad" from an oldie but goodie by Hero Arts. I've not used the SSS set before - poor thing, it's already retired!! So I'll also enter this to Darnell's NBUS Challenge.

I love your story about bringing home presents for your family Linda and I bet your dad treasures his cups! You've personalised the cup beautifully on your card and it looks perfect for your coffee-loving dad! Vicky x
Hi Linda, thanks for your lovely comment on my blog and thanks also for playing along at Sweet Stampin', I'm so pleased you joined in this week and I hope you'll be back often!
Love the card you made for your Dad, and the story behind the mugs - I'm sure he loved them all and will love this thoughtful card too.

Perfect card for your dad! Love what you did with the cup!
What a great card Linda. I'm sure that your Dad will love it and loved the story of all your gifts to him. I bet each and everyone is cherished.
Wonderful masculine card - great details such as the striped paper.
