The week leading up to St. Patrick's Day was filled with birthdays. I hadn't realized how many birthdays are celebrated among friends & family during that one week. There was one practically everyday. I keep telling myself I need to make a batch of birthday cards to have on hand. I hate the last minute race to whip up a birthday card. Maybe it is something I should tackle this weekend? Maybe it is something we should all tackle?
Hmmm...how about an impromptu challenge?
- Create a birthday card(s) using stamps from Purple Onion Designs
- Post your card online (on a blog, online gallery, etc.)
- Then link your card in the comments section of today's blog post
You will then be entered into a drawing to receive a birthday themed stamp prize package! I'll have the challenge run till next Sunday March 30th, since we are already halfway through this weekend. I'll actually offer two prize packages. The first will be a random winner and the second will be a favorite submission. Please remember that this challenge needs to include stamps from Purple Onion Designs.
Here are a few birthday themed cards from the design team for some inspiration.
