Spring is Coming ~~ March Calendar Girls

Welcome to the third 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. 


This month hostess is Ms. March, our own April—no, her name is April and her month is March as it is her birthday month—confused yet???  It is a three-fer, since it is the third month of the year and the third round.  Here are the three components:


1—Spring is right around the corner (and as I post this, temps in Wisconsin have been in the 30’s and parts of the state got 18 more than inches of snow), but I will believe Spring is coming……. we were to  use an image to portray something I am looking forward to ~~ for me it is flowers and the gardens to come to life!


2—Use a technique or product that “scares” us—something that I admire and have procrastinated using ~~ for me it is the Crystal Effects I used on the flower blooms.  I am really not intimated by it—just do not use it enough.


3—And finally, we were to use a sketch that April designed ~~ for me that was the easy part—I love following sketches as the design is already set. 


So, here is my card for the month.  And, for the third month in a row—do you see a theme with threes?—I have used a flower image.  I am soooooo ready for spring.

Cardstock—SU Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Very Vanilla Cardstock and Heidi Grace Design Flowers in a Row DSP
