The design team have created some amazing items, so please pop over to have a look!

This is what I came up with...

Anything Goes at Crafty Calendar Challenge

Hello everyone! I really can't believe that it's the first Saturday of the month again - where has this year gone?

It's challenge time over at Crafty Calendar Challenge, and this month we would like to see Anything Goes! I love challenges like this, as you can just be creative and see where your stash takes you!! We are being sponsored by the lovely Pretty Little Stamps, and some of the design team have used images for their cards.

My card today is for the new lady at work when we go back in September. I know how daunting it can be starting a job where there is already a team that you have to fit into, although I don't know how daunting Tracy and I are - mad more like it!! Anyway, I have made a card for her to wish her luck in her new job and hope it makes her relax a bit and realise we're actually quite normal and sane!!

What I have used:

Sentiments - Lili of the Valley

Flowers - Marianne Creatables

Leaves - Joy Crafts

Swirl - Magnolia DooHickeys

Spellbinders - Parisian Motifs

Lace - Hobby House

I wold like to enter the following challenges please:

See you soon!
