Calendar Girls - June

Hi everyone! It's Calendar Girls monthly challenge post time!

This time around Miss June (Carol) and Miss July (Michelle) have swapped spots. It's been a very busy month for Carol, so we all agreed to take some pressure off of her and let someone else be in charge for now ☺

Michelle came up with the following challenge for us this month:

For most of us, June is the month that starts summer...many events are happening...school ending, graduation, weddings, flowers blooming and family vacations.
My challenge is...using SC 388 (found in the SC thread), with any color combination create a card that best suits your beginning to summer, or summer plans. It could be a trip you are planning, a flower that is blooming, a wedding you are attending, or a graduation gathering. Whatever it could be...have fun creating a card to go with it.

Here is the sketch we were to follow(sorry the picture is so tiny):




The way I am starting out summer is by organizing a baby shower for a dear friend, one that I have known for almost 20 years. She is having baby girl #2 in a couple short weeks (Yay for babies!). This week her entire family has gone on vacation, she and her family were to go with but the doctor said no. Being a bit down about that I thought she needed a bit of fun and a bit of a distraction.

I followed the sketch as best as I could flipping it 90° and used tons of layers! Here is my creation:


My bottom layer was too big so I had to chop off one corner for it to look right. I think it turned out OK even though it's missing a bit.

Thanks for stopping by! I will see you next month when it's time for Miss June (Carol) to give us a challenge!
