Celebrating Dad

The challenge at Fantabulous Cricut this week is to celebrate Dad. That was easy!


You've always pointed me in the right direction.  But, I still don't know which way is North or South or those two other ones.

.............


The girl is from My Community cut at 2.5 inches.  She is actually Jack climbing the bean stalk, but I used the hair from the teacher on the same cartridge cut at 2.5.  I snipped the little bit of Jack's hair off that would have shown.  The clothes for Jack are on the layer button and I just cut them twice out of two separate papers and layered them for a more girly look.  I made the walking stick with a scrap piece of paper. I tied little bows in her hair, doodled and done. 

The Compass is cut at 3" twice and shadowed.  The papers are from a book of Travel Papers my children bought me at Tuesday Morning last year.  It was perfect for this card. The DAD is from Beyond Birthdays.

I am spatially challenged  and can never remember where I've been or how to find it again, but my Dad can remember nearly everywhere we've been and what side of the street it's on.  I didn't get that talent  :0/   This card will make him laugh and it will also be poignant since he gave me a good moral upbringing as well.  

Happy Father's day to all those good father's out there.
