It’s been quite a while since I’ve played in one of the Dirty Dozen monthly challenges, but I couldn’t pass this one by. We were to choose our oldest card in our gallery (or one of THE oldest) and case it, making at least three subtle changes. It’s kind of funny to look back at those older cards. (Actually, it IS funny, and some are quite embarassing!)
Happy Birthday–Then
This was my very first upload into Splitcoast Stampers back in February of 2005. It’s hard to believe that was four years ago! Look at that awful scan. So drab. And no patterned paper. Why would I add DTP to this? I like the little knotted “ribbon” though and the bling collar.
I suppose it’s not too bad but there were definately things I would change. (I tried not to change too much.)
Happy Birthday–Now
I kept the same basic layout and the buttons but changed the stamps, added some matting, raised a couple of panels, substituted patterned 
paper for the background and popped up a couple of elements within the stamped image.
If you’d like to see how other Dirty Dozen members (current and Alumni) have cased themselves, you can check it out here. This was a fun challenge! 🙂
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
