This week at
it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she's going easy on everyone....she wants to see those Birthday! projects.
This is what I did.....
This went in the mail for my uncle's 80th, so I decided not to use any embellishments. While it did make it through the Canada Post mail is-it-to-thick? measuring tool despite having some bulky layers, it did require extra postage for the weight. I'm thinking the additional 40¢ is a small price to pay in order to avoid undue stress....which I would totally feel if I forced myself to make a card without layers or *gasp* without pop dots.
Digi is from Mo's Digital Pencil. It's pretty much the perfect digi for.....*ahem*.....seasoned recipients. Oh, but I don't mean seasoned like liberally sprinkled with salt, pepper, oregano and/or your chosen herb and spices. Just, you know, the old. ((((:
So, why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.
