Welcome to the Calendar Girls March Blog Hop!!
Papercrafts Presents 365 Cards magazine is our inspiration for these monthly hops which became the Calendar Girls. The magazine has Creative Ideas for every day of the year: occasions, holidays, and celebrations including 42 unique celebratory days!!! These unique days are our inspiration. The March days being featured on this hop are:
You won't want to miss a single occasion!!!
The hop starts HERE with Read Across America Day!!!
Read Across America Day just happens to coincide with Dr. Suess' birthday. Who doesn't love a good Dr. Suess book??? My little girl loves them! As such, my original plan for this hop was a scrapbook layout featuring my now 4 year old sitting cross legged on the floor "reading" a Dr. Suess book to her stuffed animals. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted all the photos on my cell phone, including the aforementioned photo. Instead I made this plaque which I will give to my daughter's pre-K teacher at the end of the school year.
I started with an unfinished wood piece purchased at my local AC Moore. I stained it with Antique Linen Distress Stain. I used my Cuttin' Up cricut cartridge for the letters at 2 1/2 inches, and A Child's Year for the focal image at 4 inches. I used Oh My Crafts vinyl for it all. I wanted to put books on each corner, but have thus far been unhappy with the results of all book images that I have tried so far, so I've left it plain.
"Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is YOUer than you!." Dr. Suess
