Calendar Girls - June

Hello everyone! Today is June 28th, and time to post our creations for the month. It's Calendar Girls time and this month, Miss June, aka Djones, aka Debbie gave us the following challenge:

As I was trying to come up with a June theme...I noticed the $1 stamps I always seem to pick up at Michaels and never use. So I decided the June theme will be Dollar Days! However, I didn't want anyone to have to go out and buy anything so...

I gathered up the UNUSED and UNOPENED $1 stamps I had and taped a sticky note to them and put them on the table. Then I asked my youngest to mark each stamp with a number starting with #1. She picked up the stamps at random and numbered them for me. So the order in which you replied to my email determines the stamp you get.

Sweet P responded first so she gets the stamp marked 1. April responded second so she gets the stamp marked 2. And so on down the list. (Jeanette, Terry, Linda, Kelly, Barb, Tami and Carol). I will be mailing each of you the stamp that is yours.

The requirements for the June theme are:

1. At least two layers.

2. You must use the $1 stamp you receive on the card. However since the $1 stamps are small you can use background stamps or other stamps to create a background, and sentiment stamps of your own on your card as well. But I would like the $1 stamp to be the focal point.

3. If you have any buttons, ribbons, or other embellishments that you bought for $1 or less, embellishments that were gifted to you, or recycled items, please use those products to embellish the card.


Here is the stamp Debbie sent to me (it's actually 2 stamps in one itty bitty envelope):
 

 
And here is my card:
 

I think this card could be used as a Birthday card, or even an invitation to a birthday party.

In addition to the stamps, I used some dollar bin crystals and glitter glue.

Thanks for stopping by! See you next month and don't forget to check out all of the Calendar Girls creations....blogs are in my left sidebar!
