After my father retired from the military, he became a contractor, doing both construction and fine carpentry/cabinet making. I remember Dad would always be out in the garage, making stuff, with the smell of sawdust in the air (I
love that smell!). He had a pegboard wall above his workbench, with the outlines of every tool hanging there, carefully penciled on. I can still see the baby food jars, lids screwed to the bottom of the upper cabinet, filled with various nails, screws, nuts, and bolts. He was a neat freak! Too bad it seems to have skipped a generation, lol.

The embossed frame was cut out, and a piece of acetate sheet was placed over the greeting to make it look like glass. How did I stick it on you ask? Well, first I tried just a little bead of Crystal Effects on the edge....that didn't work so well. Then it struck me - Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets! The adhesive is clear, so I just laid the acetate on, rubbed it down thoroughly (using the backer sheet for protection, peeled off the other backing and voila!
