In Honor of my Dad

Who turns 75, today! This is a game that will go through the crop, but you can get started now.

The winner will receive 75 points.

1. Go to the gallery. On the page number which is your age, find me a birthday layout (or an age-related layout). Bring it back here and show the image and link it. The winner will be randomly chosen from everyone who posts. Plus, we will get to see some cool birthday layout ideas....I struggle with those! lol If there are no qualified layouts on your age page, then try the page that is your birthdate. Still no birthday layouts, then go to the page that is your birth year (last 2 digits). Hopefully, that works.

2. Then, you may post again! (as many times as you like) After you have done the first one, go back to the gallery, choose a random page, and find a birthday layout that hasn't been posted.

Our gallery is hundreds of pages, so this will be a fun hunt! You are on your honor not to use the Search feature and just type in "birthday" because then you won't see all the other fabulous layouts on the page you choose.

I will also award 75 bonus points to the first person who finds a layout that is about somebody's 75th birthday, if there is one.

Edited to add: Just realized when you first go to the gallery, the page numbers don't show. You have to click on the bottom where it says View More.

Hope this helps any newbies! Also, as far as I know, the only way to get to the larger numbers, is to click on the last number in the series before the ... and keep doing that so it will scroll through the numbers.

Also adding, directions on how to link a photo from the gallery.

First, go to the layout on the page and click on it. When you have the layout page open, copy the url at the top of the page, and come back to your post on this thread. Open up a Reply to Post box, and put in your photo. Then, click on your layout photo in the reply post to select it, then go to the top tool bar in the posting box, and click on the weird looking chain link (it is to the right, in the box of 3 that also has a flag in it). A box will pop up and you paste the url in the box and hit submit. Then hit submit on your post and it will be linked.

Here is my example:

From page 50 (gasp!), I found this layout by joannie. It is age-related, but not a birthday layout.

I don't think you are the only one who doesn't know this. Here are directions, and I will edit my original post to include them.

First, go to the layout on the page and click on it. When you have the layout page open, copy the url at the top of the page, and come back to your post on this thread. (you will have to Edit your post, others can do it from the first time). Click on your layout photo in the post to select it, then go to the top tool bar in the posting box, and click on the weird looking chain link (it is to the right, in the box of 3 that also has a flag in it). A box will pop up and you paste the url in the box and hit submit. Then hit submit on your post and it will be linked.

Ooh, beachlover, I believe love2stamp beat you with the 75th birthday by just a minute!

(Judging based on the time stamps and order of the posts.) So, the bonus points have been won!

Aww...don't give up. If it is easier, you can just copy the url and paste it below the photo. One thing I have found is everybody's electronics work slightly differently, so it is hard to post exact directions.

From my age, I found the same as you, lol and I agree with the *gasp* So I went to my birthday day of 29 and found this card:

I think it could be sketched as a layout and I love the banner - by shoorn but you asked for a layout, I thought I'd try my year 68 and found:

Although not birthday, it says grow and I love the look of this by -Tracy-

This was on page 36 - not birthday, but age related..... by keatonsgtgram - and there weren't any on page 81, which is my birth year.

Here is a super cute layout celebrating Tucker's 4th birthday by Mildred - mgehrke - from page 113! ( I chose that number because it's my old street address number....)
