Happy new year, everyone, and happy anniversary/birthday to Double D! This was the challenge blog that started it all for Diane and Darlene. I've lost track of how many challenge blogs they now operate, but it's a lot! Today we'd like to invite you to join us in celebrating the happy beginning.
Make an anniversary or birthday themed card or project and share it with us on the challenge blog. You may be a random prize winner or a creative favorite.
I'm celebrating in my typical old-meets-new style with rainbow colors and presents and birthday wishes. The Die-namites Hanging Presents is an older die from an out of business company, and the "happy birthday" is a newish-to-me Cottage Cutz die. Seems they just sort of fell together on this mini-slimline card.
The dies are all two layers of 110 lb Neenah white with inks brushed on in rainbow fashion. The stars popped out of the presents and the colors pop on black, so there you go. Happy birthday Double D!
Come join us, and don't forget your party hat! Have a happy day!
