My stamping friend Sue Small-Kreider recently asked me if I wanted to join in with her new calendar challenge. It sounded like fun. She provided us with the monthly calendar pages that she stamped with the Spellbinders BetterPress, and we would decorate them. She had made her calendar pages for January and February, but I didn't join her group until March. Here is her calendar page.
My Irish ancestry always shows itself in March. I love to make St. Patrick's Day cards, so I continued this tradition by making my calendar page in a similar theme.
I didn't have a leprechaun in the right proportion for the page, but I did have a small Riley & Company gnome who I dressed in green. The pot of gold is part of the Karen Burniston Good Luck Charms die set; the clouds are part of her Tropical Scene die set; and the grass is from her Nature's Edges set. I have several rainbow dies, and the one that worked the best for this scene is Trinity Stamps' Rainbow Builder. I stamped the birds with a stamp I have had for many years; and unfortunately, I have no idea who made it. In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I stamped a very small shamrock on March 17th on the calendar.
I'm looking forward to continuing this challenge for the rest of the year. I hope you'll come back on the first of every month to see my calendar pages.
