JULY PICK~A~DAY CHALLENGE

Post by Mommyof5 »

Hello, Cherries!  Welcome to JULY!

THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO PLAYED ALONG WITH THE JUNE CHALLENGE!  THE WINNER FOR JUNE WAS LILKOALA3  

*I have inherited this challenge and I vowed to keep Susan's original rules and wishes in place.
Here is how this Challenge works. Each day of the month has a holiday attached to it -- national brownie day, national bacon day, national fly a kite day, etc.  Some of the holidays are WACKY and wild...and a few even a little over the top...but ALL are actual holidays.
Each month I will post the prompts for that month.  Your challenge is to pick a day/holiday that I have added to the calendar and base your layout or card around that theme.  There is also a theme for the month shown at the top of the calendar.  If you choose the theme of the month, your name will be entered twice in the drawing for a winner. 

THE RULES:
~Your layout must be NEW, can be paper or digital. 
~Cards are allowed
~The holiday that you choose must be one that I have added to the calendar that I have created. 
~ Post your layout or card to this thread by The last day of the month at midnight, and please note which day you chose. 
~You may post as many times as you want, but your name will only go in the drawing once
     (unless you get at additional entry for using the monthly theme or OCCASIONAL twist.)
~You may combine with one other monthly Challenge that allows it.


As I am offering a monetary reward to the winner, I want to make sure that all Cherries have the same opportunity to win, as many of you do not have as much time to scrap as others. (I am one of the ones without much scrappy time!)
This is the only way I know to make it fair for all participants.  (Keeping Susan's original wishes/rules in place.)


 One randomly chosen Cherry will be chosen for a $5 ACOT GC from me!  If you have any questions, please let me know! Have fun! I can't wait to see which "WACKY" Holidays you all scrap about!

Here is your JULY calendar:

Here's my LO entry.  I didn't know if I should use it for National Chocolate Day or Raspberry Cake Day.  Fits both since DGD's BD cake was chocolate raspberry!

Happy Birthday 13

I chose 24 Amelia Earhart day, because Amelia Earhart went to Purdue (and taught there) and my son lived in Earhart dorm freshman year, and I even used a sticker of her
