This month we're continuing with the "about me" series. This month, it's
My Birthday Month
August is my birthday month. With that in mind, what is your Birthday Month? I want to see some ATCs that honor your month. What happens in that month (besides your birthday) in your part of the world? What is the weather like? Can you capture it in a little ATC?
You until next month to complete the challenge and you can do as many as you like. Cards are due Wednesday, September 5. Post your ATC in the ATC Challenge & Swap gallery. Then email a full resolution to me at scrapgirl.elisha@gmail.com. I will post a new challenge on Friday, September 7.
If you're looking for products to help you with this challenge, check out these for inspiration:

Looking forward to getting to know each of you better and seeing what you all come up with. Have Fun!!

I was born in November ruled by Scorpio. Beautiful end of Autumn Foliage in early November and cold weather starting. It used to snow around my birthday, but not anymore. I already have some ideas marching through my brain. Now to get them down on paper. Thanks for the great idea for August's ATC Swap, Elisha.

This sounds a good challenge. With living here Down Under.. my ATC may be a little different for my month than those in the northern hemisphere. I might just look through what photos I took during my birth month this year.

Great idea for ATCs! I'll put one or two together as soon as I get home, but, for now I'm off to the gallery to see what everyone's doing.

I redid my ATC as I had, GASP!, forgotten to add my signature Butterflies to the card. So I redid it and added them and here it is:

I was just wondering about September's swap. It often takes me so long to come up with a plan, I need to get started as soon as possible!
Ditto that!

Glad it's not just me, I thought I had missed it somehow.
