Welcome to the February Ball for the Calendar Girls

Welcome to the second round 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. 

In this second month of the challenge, our own Ms. February, Kelly invited us to the Calendar Girls Ball.  Since February is the month of love, admiration and red hearts, we all were to create a card with the following expectations:

1—The card is to reflect our style—in color and style.  I love red and white cards, so that part was easy.  I also love a simple style and will have an embossed background and ribbon on the majority of my cards.
2—Show your true colors.  As I stated, I love red and white—enough said!
3—Shape up for the Ball.  We were to use shapes on the card and I got out one of my favorite SU punches and added various flowers with an added rhinestone brad in the center.

So, quite similar to the theme I used for the January creations and a reflection of the month of May that I am hosting, the card has flowers on it—stamped, embossed and punched out.  I love them and spring cannot come soon enough to bring them.
