Our hostess and group leader is, Jeanette. Our challenge this month was to choose a national holiday that associated around our birth date, and use that theme to create a card. Thankfully, we were provided with a website to aid our choice. I decided to go specifically to my birthday, September 17th.
There were some pretty funny ones to choose from! I seriously considered National Rehabilitation Day for my hoarding paper tendencies, but settled on a holiday that reminded me of a few things and some card inspiration from, Jeanette.
I chose not just national, but International Country Music Day. Who knew?! Jeanette, is currently doing the 100 cards in 100 days challenge. I admire those who can complete that challenge. She has put up some pretty cute Riley cards, so that made me go diggin' through my image files and I found the perfect countrified Riley. Then recently someone had a card that had apples as the theme {sorry I cannot remember who}, so I went through my scraps and found some apple and wood DP to create this card.
Of course I had to get my Pandora One on while I made this. Country of course!!! It makes me giggle that the Pandora country station is called Country Cra*! Here is a song that is a unique collaboration that worked. I have it on my 'Slo Mo' playlist on my iPod.
Please be sure and visit all of the Calendar Girls to see their creations. I cannot wait to see what holidays they came across. Their blog links are on the right sidebar. Have a great day!
