This week at
it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she's continuing to work her way through the alphabet and she's saying, "G is for Gentleman!" meaning she wants to see those masculine makes.
This is what I did.....
I went with this amazing digi from Poppy Lane Digital (whose Etsy shop appears to be closed ): ) and made a birthday card. I absolutely love this style of digi stamp. Sentiment was made in Canva.
I need to make a very important announcement. Even though the sentiment states "When life sends you a birthday...eat cake!" I would like to point out that anytime life sends you anything is an appropriate time to eat cake. Got sent an email? Cake. Got sent to the 'next available agent'? Cake. Got sent a package from Amazon? Well, hopefully it's cake, because cake. I rest my case.
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.

As You Like It: favourite colouring medium - I love me my Prismacolour pencils! Easier to control how much colour to put down and less expensive than markers.

Dream Valley: 2 or more papers
613 Avenue Create: anything goes

Love what you have done with this great digi! Your coloring and paper choices are perfect! The sentiment and digi combination are a fabulous reminder that we can refocus on the joys of cake as we age and worry less about tight pants!! Thanks for sharing your card with August's "Lots of Layers" challenge on the Dragonfly Dreams Challenge Blog.

Thanks for that important announcement. It will come in very handy. I tell my (now grown) kids that, if I read something online, it must be true as "they" wouldn't let people post just anything. So cake. :)
ReplyDeleteYour card is awesome! I'm just loving those cheeks!
Thanks so much for joining us over at As You Like It Challenge!
