Mr. Versatile

I am making an effort to use some of my "purchases" that sit neglected. 
I decided I HAD to make something using one of the two tag punches. 

THIS is what I came up with.....

Mr. Versatile

Why that name?
Because he can also look like this
or even this


(in case you need to scrap the robber on the bank surveillance tape)

Pick a topping and make your man!

Head - wide oval
Chin - small tag punch
Nose - 3/4 circle trimmed
Moustache - curly label next to curly label hole at shorter end
Sunglasses - butterfly (just bottom half)
Sunglasses ear pieces - cut word window in half (hot dog style) - use the ends
Add some highlights with while gel pen

Hair - oval cut like grass
Baseball cap - 1.75 circle cut a little off from half - big piece cap, small piece brim

    Kelly, I'm glad you like my punch stuff and yes, Tigger is one of my favorites too. I gave him away within just a day or two of making him - so I had to make him again just cause he was so cute.

    His face looks like something I would expect to be sitting on a muscular body (weight builder) or even on a motorcycle. Well done, I like him!

    Ellen, I have been visiting your blog regularly for quite a while now and just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your creativity and sense of humor. You are amazing and I wish I lived closer so I could try and force you to be my friend. Keep your wonderful sense of humor and don't worry about the small mindedness that sometimes surrounds you. Just know that you are now officially my "best imaginary friend".

    Thanks for being you,
    Barbara

    OOPS - I hit delete when I meant to hit publish - a little slip of the mouse.

    Jamey from New Zealand commented "Interestingly enough, I do have some pages to scrap from a bank robbery I was in, when I was a bank teller - all the newspaper clippings etc - so Mr Versatile will come in handy!
    Jamey"

    I LOVE hearing that you gals can actually USE some of the stranger things that come out of this blog.
    And Jamey, I hope they caught your crook!
