Happy summer everyone. Cathryn here to share our 84th Challenge with you.
CHALLENGE #84 - FOREVER IN BLUE JEANS
CHALLENGE #84 - FOREVER IN BLUE JEANS
I am so excited about this challenge. What on earth is more comfortable than a worn in pair of old blue jeans???? When I think of summers as a child and a teenager, I think about cut off jean shorts and daisy flowers, yes, I am dating myself LOL!!! It also makes me think of my little ones and the adorable little overalls and jeans they wore as babies and toddlers. And most of all....who can get that song out of their heads once it is playing!! Thank you Neil Diamond!!!!
Everywhere I go lately I see so much denim in crafting and designs so what better place to share our denim creations than PGCB!!!! I can't wait to see all of the wonderful creations.
We are so excited to also welcome our amazing Guest Designer for the month of July, Karen McAlpine. Check out her fantastic blog. You certainly won't be disappointed!! Thank you so much Karen for joining in the fun.

Design Process: Following the blue jeans theme, I thought it
would be fun to die cut denim flowers. I
found this denim colored felt and tried that.
The flowers looked really cute and festive. They were just perfect for
some kind of party favor. Using the
dies, I cut double sided paper to form the treat holders. I
wanted to include some stamping but did not have much room on the bag or
box. I needed the sentiment to float in
air over the flower-hence the sentiment on a stick.
Super fun Party Favours Karen. They will be the hit of any party!!!!!
Now, on to the fun the Paper Girls had with this challenge...Enjoy!!!
