Hi friends!
It's time for another Ready, Set, Go card challenge
and this month, Jeanette gave us the theme:
What event happened in 1930?
Here's her challenge:
My dad's birthday is in July. He was born July 27, 1930.
The Ready Set Go theme for July will require a little research.
My dad will be celebrating a milestone birthday later this month
so in honor of him I want you to find some fact about the year he was born (1930)
and use it as inspiration for your card. Easy peasy, right?
Awwww! Happy Birthday to dad!
My dad's birthday is also in July ~ although his is in heaven.
Funny thing!
When I was searching for events in 1930,
I did what almost everyone does - went to the internet!
And as soon as I typed 'what happened ...'
that's as far as I got before it automatically said
'What happened to Monday?' in the search bar.
Haha! How many people lost a Monday that they needed to google it?!
I know I never what day of the week it is
so safety in numbers, I say!
So I did some searching and didn't really have stamps to fit the bill.
So I improvised.
In 1930, Clyde Tombaugh, an American astronomer,
discovered the planet Pluto.
It was the 9th planet in our solar system until it was later
reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.
Aw, poor Pluto!
Here's my card representing looking into the night sky at the solar system.
I've used Lawn Fawn's Wish Upon A Star
and Ranger Ink distress oxide inks for the background.
I'm sure in the middle of the star system there's a planet or two!
You can see Barb's card here and
Jeanette's card here and what they chose from 1930!
Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings :)

My mom was also born in 1930! She is 90 and still walking around, Praise God! I love your card and didn't know about the discovery of Pluto. I always just think of the Great Depression. I guess the year 2020 will be known as the Pandemic year? Thanks for sharing your pretty card.
