“I love you to the Moon and Back” is what you always said to me every single day of my life.  When looking through the Annual catalog and saw the To The Moon stamp set, naturally I could not help but do this special tribute in honor of you on what would have been your 80th Birthday.  Please enjoy this special tribute to my wonderful late father Frederick (Fred) Franklin Civello.

He always loved the simple things in life, so I decided to keep this project in the “Simple Stamping” Category.

• I started out by using our amazing Blending Brushes to create the Night Background.  The color combo used was Misty Moonlight, Balmy Blue, and Fresh Freesia.
• Stamping the Large Moon Image, Adding the stars in Daffodil Delight, and finishing it out with Basic Rhinestones.
• Card Base Daffodil Delight 4 1/4″ x 11″ Scored at 5 1/2″ or folded in half
• Layer 1 Daffodil Delight 4″ x 5 1/4″
• Basic White 3 3/4″ x 5″

My Father was ONE OF A KIND.  He was kind, patient, and one of the most hardworking men I knew.  He was always encouraging me to be my best and supporting me in the things that I was most passionate about.

When I was creating my new Craft Studio, I made sure to honor him. Anytime I can find something with his “I love you to the Moon and Back” I make sure I find a special place for it.

Having two older brothers and being the only girl, truly made the bond between him and me more special.   I will forever be your “Bouncing Baby Girl”.  Happy Birthday, Daddy. I love you to the Moon and Back.

I hope you enjoyed today’s special tribute and “Simple Stamping” project.

Until Next time, Happy Crafting!!
