Father's Day

It's Father's Day soon and as we will be away on our road trip in the USA I thought I would get ahead for once.  It was so bright and sunny here early this morning and the dogs were making a racket I had to get up and do something!



Over at A Passion for Papertrey the latest challenge is to use circles so I broke out my Background Basics:Medallions for the first time and had a play with Blueberry Sky and Spring Rain inks and took it from there!  It reminds me of Dad's RAF uniform that he wore for 40 years - hope he likes it!

As Betty noted this also goes well with a blog that is new to me - Dynamic Duos - their challenge this week is to make a monochromatic card in two colours of blue.  This is a first for me - one card in two places!
