Masculine birthday card with contrasts for PPCC no 433 design team project

As adults I find that celebrating birthdays is usually a balance between daily living obligations vs relaxing and taking it easy. So this card shows that struggle--forceful words on the cover folds but either whining complaints or wishes or accomplishments on the inside panels.


Dr. Digi's Dunderton Rugby Club image of "Derek" is the star of this card:



PPCC blog #433 is another weekly challenge with Anything Goes (with paper-crafting) theme starting June 5, 2019. There are 2 prize sponsors & contributors of images for the design team to highlight: Time For Tea Designs and Dr. Digi's House of Stamps. I'm working with one of Dr. Digi's series featuring Derek.

PPCC post link for recent winner & top 3 since #433 hasn't been posted as of 2:20pm Wed. 6/5/19=


**I'll edit in the link for #433 as soon as it is available. https://pennyschallenges.blogspot.com/2019/06/welcome-to-pennys-challenge-433.html

more scanned pics from start to finish:


Dimensions: 7" high and then each section is 3.5" wide or 10.5" wide total


"Do I have to adult today?"  "I need a nap!"  "Busy, busy, busy."


"I love naps."  "Can I get a day off?"  "Gettin' stuff done!" And in the top right corner of the center panel: "Nope, not today!"


Before the day was over, I had edited--changing the birthday related stick-on and adding a tiny planner sticker to Derek's left ("I need a time out").
