Loving my HAOOCAYR #27 on June 1 DT projects

 Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog!

why: This post showcases my design team projects for some of the themes at HAOOCAYR (used to be HCAYR) #27 on June 1, 2025. The main themes each month are Halloween and Birthday. The optional/extra themes for #27 are Fruits/Veggies and/or Great Outdoors. This month I decided to do a Halloween card for my stash plus the great outdoors friends card. 

when: #27 starts June 1 and ends on June 30, 2025

what: Project #1 = Halloween main theme 

how-to notes for #1 = the tiny brad says "Boo Crew" and the larger brad says "Spook tacular!"
