Challenge #180 - It's Only A Number AND an 80's to the Max Birthday Blog Hop


Hello!  Regan here with the post today, and we have a something a little different for you!  It's my 40th birthday this week and to celebrate we have teamed up with sponsor Sassy Studio Designs to bring you a totally awesome 80s to the Max birthday blog hop!  Plus it seems I'm not the only August baby on the two teams so there's even more reasons to party!  There are LOTS of ways to win so be sure to read the post in full!

First, we have a sad good-bye and some happy hellos to attend to!  Kathy has stepped down to focus on family, and we'd like to wish her well!  Her talent will be missed, but we hope to still see her around!  I'd also like to welcome our two newest design team members: Debbie and Debora!  Debbie is on the SSD design team so we go way back!  I have admired Debora's work when she would enter our challenges, and I am so pleased to have her as an addition to our team!

Our challenge this fortnight is a birthday one with a twist: "It's Only A  Number" - create a birthday themed project which includes a number on it.  EVERYONE who enters will receive a special Sassy Studio Designs image, Boom Box Sassy, for FREE!  It will be emailed to you so be sure to enter the email address you would like to receive it at when you link up your project.


Please note that your project does not have to be 80s themed.  As long as it's birthday themed and contains a number your in!  BUT if you use a SSD image you will receive a bonus entry for the grand prize!  Simply enter a second link to your general blog with your name and "SSD" after it!  Want another reason to play along?  Our Top 3 this fortnight will also win a prize!  Each Top Pick will receive two images from the new SSD 80s release!


Lindsay, the owner and artist behind Sassy Studio Designs, has created a whole collection of 80s themed images as her August release just for this occasion!  Though I was born in the 70s, I grew up during the 80s and absolutely LOVE them!  These images are so much fun and will bring you right back to the decade of distinctive pop culture, music, and trends!  The winner of our challenge this fortnight will win the ENTIRE SSD 80s COLLECTION!!!  (Can't wait to win them?  You can purchase them HERE now! And for this week only there's a special!  You can buy the collection, that's all 9 images, for only $35!  A savings of $5.50!)  To see all the gorgeous images being featured by our two righteous design teams, please join us for my birthday blog hop!  The Sassy and Corrosive dudes and dudettes have designed some most excellent projects for you!  A random comment will be selected from each blog to win that featured image!  The more blogs you visit and comment on, the more chances to win you have!  Here is the complete list:

So, a few of us left a message on her, um.........card. Except, I couldn't even find a card. Now, I'm feeling totally back in the 80's.

    I'll be back to answer the trivia..........

  15. 1. 3 members of Brat Pack were Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, and Ally Sheedy.
    2. I think the band is Bon Jovi.
    3. 3 80's fashions were stir up pants (which I had completely forgotten I had even owned!), parachute pants, and leg warmers (I have actually seen some of these in stores lately). I also remember the off shoulder oversized shirts, and now my daughter wears them. Things really do come back in style!
    4. Ronald Reagan was President for most of the 80's.
    5. Tiffany was the 80's Pop Queen that got her start on Star Search.

    THANKS for bringing back all of these 80's memories!
