Calendar Girls Challenge

Good evening!!!!

I am late to my own challenge.  But sometimes life just gets busy.  

The June challenge I gave to the Calendar Girls was...

Since we are the CALENDAR Girls I was thinking we should make cards that reflect the months of the year or days of the week.

I found these sayings about a few of the months:

Slow as Molasses in January
January Brings a New Year
Beware the Ides of March (William Shakespeare "Julius Caesar")
March, In Like a Lion Out Like a Lamb
April Showers Bring May Flowers
June is Bustin' Out All Over (Oscar Hammerstein)
July Fireflies Bring August Skies
September Leaves Gives Chance for October Scares

And here are some yearly days of the week.:

Fat Tuesday
Black Friday
Good Friday
Palm Sunday

So the challenge is to make a card that reflects your interpretation of one of the above sayings about the months or one of the four listed days. (Maybe you know another saying about months of the year you like. You can use that saying.)

In your blog post let us know what saying or day your card reflects.


I loved the saying "June is Bustin' Out All Over!"  June makes me think of sunshine, brightly colored flowers and of course a few bugs...nice ones though...ladybugs, dragonflies, and butterflies.

So here is my card that reflects June Bustin' Out All Over. 

I love this big sunshine stamp from Peachy Keen Stamps.  I used Groovy Gauva, Baja Breeze, Real Red, Old Olive and Whisper White card stock.  The designer paper is from Prima Marketing, Umbrella Collection, called "butterfly wings".  And the dragonfly brad is from a kit I received last month.  So glad I was able to use it!
