Happy 80th Birthday, Dad!

My dad turned 80 years old this year, so we threw a big party to honor him. All the kids and most of the grandkids came. Dad almost set the smoke detectors off when he blew out his 80 candles!

My dad is a kind, caring, considerate, fun-loving, generous and godly man. I'm so blessed that he is my dad!

I submitted this layout to the December IL Playing with Numbers Challenge. The requirements were to use 4 pictures plus a minimum of 6 papers, 1 ric rac, 1 alpha, 2 shapes and 6 elements. I planned to scrapbook these photos anyway, but this challenge helped me make the page more interesting as I searched for ways to fulfill the guidelines.
