Kate is our hostess over at Stampotique Designer's Challenge this week and here is what she says about her challenge:
For quite some time now, I have been thinking that some of the Stampotique characters remind me of a family gathering ...(er, no offence to any of my family members who may happen to be reading LOL!) So, with that in mind I set you a challenge to create something, anything, with the theme of family. It could be a greeting card, a journal page, an ATC .... whatever you like. Now, we've all got families but it means something different to each and every one of us, so you can be serious .... such as 'If sisters were flowers I'd pick you', or tongue in cheek... 'You pick your friends, not your family', or anything else that takes your fancy!
So my card is totally out of the ordinary, but still along the family theme. See today, one of my family (my only sibling) celebrates his birthday and this funky character kind of reminds me of my BROTHER. My brother is a natural athlete and is always doing something like running, cycling, swimming, rock climbing, etc. Whenever we are around he's always doing some type of stretching so this cracked me up.
Happy Birthday Jim, hoping you have a great birthday! Don't work out too much!
and a big Happy Birthday wish to my friends over at CAS-ual Friday who are celebrating one year of running their challenge. If you haven't been over to check them out, stop by to wish them a Happy Birthday. Their challenge this week is easy-Birthday!
