It is the 28th, so I am here to welcome you to another round with the Calendar Girls! Sorry I am a bit late in posting, but I am here!
Who are the Calendar Girls? We are a group of bloggers who want to have a place where friendships blossom, creativity abounds, and encouragement prevails! In keeping with that dream, this blog group has been created so we will have a place to interact and enjoy being fellow bloggers.
April, our Miss March, provided us
with this challenge:
{In another thread, we were talking about what kind of challenges we like best and that is where I got this idea}
I want you to make a birthday card based on your date of birth.
I would love you to use two parts of your birth date and use the corresponding color and sketch challenges available on the forums.
So, my birthday is 3-8-67.....either 3, 8, or 67 would be the color challenge and either of the two remaining would be the sketch challenge.
My choices could be: 3/8, 3/67, 8/67; or the reverse of these combos for color/sketch or sketch/color.....
Clear as mud, right?? Use two parts of your birth date and the corresponding challenge to make a birthday card!

So, after reading this a few times and getting some clarification in the thread—I checked out the color and sketch challenge threads and printed out my three choices—1, 10 and 53--yup, I actually admitted what year I was born........... I went color #53—Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue and Certainly Celery. Then, for the sketch, I used #10. (hummmmmmm-I wonder what numbers Jeanette used in her card as she admits to be only 17)
This has to be the fastest I ever made a card—having the colors and sketch already set, there was no need to sit and ponder “what to do!” I also think this is the third or fourth month in a row, where I have used a Whipper Snapper Designs stamp for the image……………. Oh well—you all know I love that company!
Thanks for a great challenge April—Loved it!
Image/Sentiment--Whipper Snapper It’s your Birthday Birdie
Cardstock--PTI White; Stampin’ Up Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery; Imaginisce B-Day Bash Hip Hip Hooray DSP

ReplyDeleteBarb, you got me in trouble!!! Tee HEe! I know it had to be your fault. I don't know why, but when I was on Sweet P's blog, I thought it was yours... you should go read what I said to YOU over there. Something about you being OLD! ;)
ReplyDeleteYour card is fabulous... you really did a great job with that sketch which looks oh-so-familiar to me. I love the colors you had to work with, too. A nice combination.
