Fun!

On the 28th of every month, the Calendar Girls blog group posts the monthly challenge projects. Today is the 28th! FUN!!!

Miss June is none other than Deb. She is such a kind and creative woman who is way too busy with a full-time job, a number of children at home (who are all involved in a lot of activities), etc - yet she still finds time to create cards. I am in awe!

This being Deb's month - she got to choose the challenge for the Calendar Girls. Just wait until you see/hear what she did......................

She sent each of us a little stamp/set. You know, those stamps that we often times are tempted to buy - because they just cost a dollar. She decided to give us a theme of

DOLLAR DAYS

Back in early May she mailed us each a different stamp and admonished us not to lose it (she knows us so well!). And then she gave us this challenge...

The requirements fo the June theme are:

1. At least two layers.

2. You must use the $1 stamp you receive on the card. However since the  $1 stamps are small you can use background stamps or other stamps to create a background, and sentiment stamps of your own on your card as well. But I would like the $1 stamp to be the focal point.

3. If you have any buttons, ribbons, or other embellishments that you bought for $1 or less, embellishments that were gifted to you, or recycled items,  please  use those products to embellish the card.


OOPS! I blew #3.... totally forgot that part of the challenge. I'm sorry, Deb. I hope you'll like my card anyway.


Okay........

Here's what Deb sent me:

Can you tell what my stamp is?

It's a birdhouse. I was actually so excited when I saw it because I had some adorable little wooden bird embellishments that I had been wanting to use, and I thought this was the perfect opportunity. In my excitement, I totally forgot the $1 embellishments part of the challenge.  UGH! I have no idea what I paid for the bird embellishments. Oh......... I  know! Let's just say it was $1. ;)

Here's my card:

Here's the inside of my card:

Now, let's go over to the Calendar Girl blogs and see what the others made (and what Deb sent them). You'll find the links in my left side bar.
