June Calendar Girls Challenge

Our theme this month for the Calendar Girls challenge was Dollar Days.  I was actually the hostess this month and I gathered up all my unused/unopened dollar stamps I had purchased over time and sent each Calendar Girl a stamp to use for this month's card.  

The requirements for this month's challenge were:

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.

And here is my card:

The $1 stamp packet I used for my card included the candles and the round sentiment.  I didn't fill in the sentiment yet, because I am not sure who is going to get this birthday card.  The designer paper was bought on sale at Michael's (less than a dollar) and the button was bought from SU! clearance items.
