Paper Playtime Groovy Challenge #1

This challenge was fun! Well they all are but this is what came to my mind when I heard the word GROOVY. I used Fabulous Finds Cartridge. With my gypsy I welded the two hats together and with the new contour button I took the extras off the back side of the hat. Yellow hat band, yellow polka dot flower and accented with a black button. The tag, reading STYLISH is yellow polka dot with black shadow and put together with a black brad. Thank you Paper Playtime for the fun challenge, glad I could be a part of it.

Cricut Cardz Challenge, Father's Day

Happy Father's Day... What a special day, Terry is dad to our two grown children, Brandon and Breann. He is Bopa to our two wonderful grandsons, Brayden and Bryce. I am enjoying my gypsy so much now, that they have up dated it. I used A Child's Life Cartridge to cut out dad, son and daughter. Hello Kitty Font to cut out the word DAD and welded it together. Polka dats are one of my favorite papers, so here it is.
