Ready? Set. Go!

Today is the third Wednesday of the month and that means a Ready, Set, Go Challenge Card! The 3 Musketeers (Jeanette, Kelly and I) are back with another challenge this month--our 17th month!  We are now coming to the end year #2!

I provided the challenge for September and I posed a color challenge--a random one:  I love color combo challenges, so this is a version of one.  Go to the master lists of Color Challenges on SCS.  I think there are over 700 right now.  Please check out the ones that end on your birthday—Jeanette is 26^th, Kelly is 28^th and I am 01.  So you will be able to check out 7 or so that end with your date.  I would look at numbers 1, 101, 201, 301, etc.  You can pick any one of those color combinations that you want.  The twist is to also pick a holiday—famous or weird—from the month of your birthday.  So, Kelly picks something in March while Jeanette and I use October.  Use your color combo to make a card that “celebrates” that holiday.  Does that make sense?  Ready?  Set.  Go!

OK--so I picked out my color challenge, number 601.  The colors were Melon Mambo, Mint Macaron, Dapper Denim.  I love those colors independently and I thought it would make a great tropical type card.  At this point, I "forgot" about the second part of the challenge--picking a holiday in October.............  I was even so excited that I had a Kaleidacolor ink pad that was such a good match.  And, I knew what style of image I wanted to use--one of my favorite Paper Inspiration Calligraphy stamps.  Imagine my surprise when I started this blog post and realized this needed to be for an October Holiday!  And, I have no time to create another card. This is where I wing it..................

So--does this count Caffeine Addiction Recovery Month count as a celebration?  Or can we celebrate Class Reunion Month?  Maybe we can celebrate Country Music Month? I know--German-American Month, as I am a first generation German, living in America!   Take you pick--and let's Celebrate.  Sorry Jeanette and Kelly, I messed up.  Maybe I didn't..........................  I guess by using the Celebrate image, I can use it for any holiday I pick!

Here is the inside of my card:
