Happy Birthday Kansas!

Tomorrow we celebrate Kansas Day!  Not many people will be celebrating this around the world.  In fact, I don't know that many people will be celebrating here in Kansas  But tomorrow Kansas will be celebrating 158 years of statehood.  So, I thought I would take the opportunity to create a birthday card to celebrate Kansas day.

The representation of wheat in the Designer Series Paper was a no brainer for me, as was using the sunflower (Kansas state flower).  I love the images and colors from the retired Country Lane paper.

I have to admit I did pause for a moment when choosing the card base color for this card  Purple is my favorite color and Blackberry Bliss is my favorite Stampin' Up! color at this moment.  However, this was a card inspired by Kansas Day..  And, in Kansas, purple, red, and yellow have deeper meaning.  Those colors represent the major universities and sports team and the colors mean loyalty to your team.  Kansas State University is purple and gray; the University of Kansas is red and blue; and Wichita State University is yellow and black.   Team (and color) loyalty is a big thing here in Kansas  In fact, I've even heard K-State supporters say the "bleed purple"  Even though purple is my favorite color and my wheelchair is even purple, I "bleed red." and maybe a little yellow.  GO JAYHAWKS and SHOCKERS!!!  To ensure no one would question my loyalty with my Kansas Day card, here is a cupcake to celebrate!!!  :)

Make sure you head over to WWC205 and CAS Colorus & Sketches #305 to see the inspiration cards by the design team and other amazing.  And make sure you come back later this week when I talk about two more holidays.

I have a loyalty program to thank you, my loyal customers.  See details here.
