A new month!

Paints: Moss and Mustard by Dylusions
Flowers: Cut from images by Tumblefish Studios
Stamp by Tim Holtz

Wayhay!! 68 people left a link to their January / February pages during the month of February, I am delighted that so many of you are keeping up with the challenge set by Jill and myself. Now, I think I visited everyone's blog (hmmm, sometimes that pesky little word verification thing catches me out.....) but if I didn't leave you a comment just give me a nudge ;-)  Hope you all managed to get round at least some of the blogs - there is some really lovely inspirational work out there and everyone's calendars are so different. Amazing! Thanks for joining in everyone, and well done if you are managing to keep up so far.

Anyway, how did it get to March already?! Can't say I'm sorry to see the back of February - it's a dreary, grey, cold, wet, muddy month here in the north of England and I for one, am ready for some sunshine and spring-like weather!

I found this lovely little quote and I have optimistically used it as part of my March page:


And I'm so convinced that spring is just around the corner I decided to add flowers to my page which I punched from images by Tumblefish Studios, and then doodled around to make flowers:


And just to prove that I did write on my February page and keep up to date, here it is all finished:


Don't forget to add a link to your blog post by clicking on mr Linky below. There is no rush, this link will remain open until the 31st March so you have all month.

Just before I go, lookie what I won. Woop woop! I won this off Rian as part of OWOH:


I am a massive fan of Rian's already and frequently use her images. Have a look at Rian's blog here (and she offers lots of freebie images too!) Thanks Rian :-)

Don't forget to leave your link here showing your calendar page for March, and your completed February page if you wish. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

  2. Oh great prize Kate - is it an overlay or a print?
    Either way I don't think i could create something as stunning if I was playing with PSE for a 100 years. You lucky minx.
    Cant wait to see what you create with it.

  15. I have to confess I am a fallen calendar gal, I am done up to the 23rd, but then alas I had to go away, to see Tim yee hah, (I hadnt already mentioned it had I, LOL) so am behind plus trying to finish off my configuration, so unlikely to get it sorted before the end of the weekend, but I will manage it, because I do enjoy it so :) xx
