January Challenge for the Calendar Girls--May Flowers!

Welcome to my first post with the Calendar Girls!

Who are the Calendar Girls? We are a group of bloggers who want to have a place where friendships blossom, creativity abounds, and encouragement prevails! In keeping with that dream, this blog group has been created so we will have a place to interact and enjoy being fellow bloggers. 

This is the first month of the challenge and it falls on the creator of this group—Jeanette—to offer the details of the first card.  She wanted us to focus on our new name and there were three components that needed to be met.
1—The card is to be created reflecting the month we are hosting—my month is May and that month is always great for our flower gardens to get ready for the summer blooms.  It also is the month when I plant the baskets and pots we have on our deck and front porch.
2—We are to use our favorite embellishment—that is not hard for me as ribbons and brads are usually on every card I create.
3—We are to use out newest paper-crafting tool—I just got the new Scor-Pal and love it!  I have used the first edition of this tool, but got the new one as it has more lines for scoring.  I used it to make a grid on the background of the card.


So here are the details on the May Flowers card I created:

Image—Tim Holtz Flights of Fancy

Cardstock—SU Pink Pirouette, Rose Red and GKD Ivory

Ink—Rose Red with Pretty in Pink sponged on the image and the sentiment

Accessories—Nesties-Labels 11, Nesting Tag, Rose Brad, Rose Ribbon, Scor-Pal

Please check out the blogs of all of the Calendar Girls—there are 10 of us, so it might take you a bit, but I am sure you will enjoy the creations for this first challenge.  All of the blogs are listed on my left sidebar.

I hope you enjoy looking at our cards!  Thanks for joining us!!!!!!!
