Have a Groovy Day FMS 130 & PPA 198

April 3, 2014

I stamped this image of the "Groovy" VW van a few months ago at my "Scrappin" Weekend with my girlfriends.  It belongs to my friend, Pam and I just LOVED it!!!!   I have been saving it until the right moment.  Well, today was the day!

The colors in The Pals Paper Arts and the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches were calling my van's name!  I love when that feeling happens.  I have to admit, I grew up with in this era, and for many of you, this might bring back some awesome memories.  My neighbor had a van like this, and when I see one driving down the highway, fond memories cross my mind.  Are you hearing any Grateful Dead music?  The Deadheads would probably appreciate my card.  Flower Power to ALL!  ENJOY!!!!
