Calendar Girls - June

Hi everyone! I am finally posting my Calendar Girls card for the month of June.

Here are the details:

Hostess: Deb

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.


And here is my card. I went "loosely" with "April Showers bring May Flowers". The sentiment contains the word STORM (translates to "April Showers") and I added a flower that I put together from a kit I had (and that is the "May Flowers" part).


I hope this meets the requirements of the challenge Debbie!

Thank you for stopping by!

  3. Amen! This is a beautiful sentiment, one not to be taken lightly - another gorgeous color combo and card layout! A month or so ago, my dd and I really did dance in the rain - a magical moment I won't ever forget ♥

  4. I love that you used the color mint green. I hardly ever use that color and it looks good! The touch of black really sets off the embossing. Great job on the challenge!

    .....wait until you see one of my next cards.....we think alike! LOL

  5. Simply beautiful. I love the layers and colors. Really like using just a sentiment with the big flower. Awesome card.
