Calendar Girls Blog Group February Challenge

Hi everyone! It's the 28th of the month and time to share my Calendar Girls Blog Group February Challenge card!

Miss February is Kelly. She invited us to a Ball and this was her challenge for us:

Hear ye, hear ye! By royal proclamation …… I Welcome you all to Ms. February’s Ball!
Each of you beautiful belles – our lovely Calendar Girls - are cordially invited to the Calendar Girls Ball! It’s a month of love, admiration, and red hearts, my lovelies!

What will you wear to this ball? More like what will your CARD wear?! This month – fabulous Calendar Girls,- show us your STYLE! Your card should reflect a representation of what your dream dress would be and the moment each of you beauties walks into the ballroom, we’ll be dazzled by what you (your card!) has on!


1. Challenge 1 -- What’s your style?! will your card be sleek, sexy and black?
Will it be a pink and frilly with flowers? Lavendar and lace?
Will it have Bows? Buttons all down the back? Your card should speak for itself with it’s colors and style!

2. Challenge 2 -- Show us your true colors at this ball! Add your favorite color somewhere to your card.

3. Challenge 3 -- Shape up for this ball!! On the same card, you must use a SHAPE somewhere on your card! Make your regular card but add a Big-shotted, Cuttlebugged, hand cut out shape to your card.

Well....after many different ideas and dress changes, here is my card:



This card can be taken 2 different ways.....it could be the back of a wedding dress, or it could be the back of a racey nightie....you decide ☺

My style: Unpredictable. I have no "real" style. I do what I feel like that day. If I wake up and feel "sassy" I may create something in bright vivid colors. If I wake up cranky I may work in black or browns. There is never a typical day for me, and each day is so different from the last!

My favorite color: Navy Blue ☺

My shape: We won't talk about my shape ☺.....but the one I used for this card was the Modern Label Punch and matching Movers and Shapers die from Stampin' Up.

Thank you all for looking. I hope you like my interpretation of this months challenge! Can't wait to see what all the other Calendar Girls are wearing!! You can also check them out buy clicking the links in my left sidebar!

  8. What a great idea for the card. So creative! I love the embossed background.....I think I have that folder and now am going to have to use it! The bow is tied perfectly. I like the white on white as well. I also like the fact that we will not be talking about your Modern Label shape! LOL
