MFT Sketch 519 - Merry Everything

Hello, and thanks for stopping by.  Today I have a card for the current MFT Sketch Challenge.

When I saw this week's sketch, I knew exactly what I'd make.  Several years ago my sweet Dad had to replace the tail light on his Mercedes sports car. He wired-up the old tail light and now uses it as his Christmas tree.  He refers to it as the most expensive Christmas tree he's ever had :-).

I'm always inspired by my Dad's zest for life, even at 93-years of age.  He's always upbeat and positive, never complains, and does as much as he can for himself.  If it weren't for COVID, he'd still be traveling the world.  He's booked for a cruise down the Amazon River next year, it will be his second trip there, we shall see if he gets to go.  I wanted to make him a special Christmas card, and although it's a bit cutesy and juvenile, I know it will make him smile.

I used a shinny red card stock for the light and filled the shaker with red and clear embellishments.  Since he has a cute reindeer hand puppet laying across the top of his "tree" I added a little MFT Jingle All the Way reindeer to the card.

All of the MFT supplies are listed below.
