This week at
it's Kate's turn to choose the challenge and she's continuing with Billy Joel songs with this week being, "Just the Way You Are" meaning she would like to see those projects celebrating someone. Pretty easy that one - you could do almost any occasion - wedding, new baby, anniversary, friendship, Valentine's Day, graduation, congratulations etc. etc. etc. Or you could do what I did....
....and go with a birthday card. This card is for my middlest and I even got the word celebrate on there to be an Extra Good DT Member. (: Image is from Binary Bazar on Etsy. I made the sentiment in Canva but got the inspiration from a stamp set I picked up at ScrapFest last year....but it wasn't the right size for the right sized balloon. That's one of the things I love about digis/computer generated sentiments - they're the right size every time. (Except when you print them out at the wrong size. Which is what I did on the first printing of the bear. But I can't fault the digi for that. (: )
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.

ReplyDeleteLove the grin on that bear!!! And couldn't agree with you more on the sizing/digi comment – the versatility of digis and digital sentiments can't be beat. I know your middlest is going to love this card.
