Military Family Appreciation Month:

 National Peanut Butter Lovers Month

Who doesn't love peanut butter? Peanut butter is one of my favorite foods, whether it is a sandwich, on my pancakes, or a big spoonful right out of the jar (shhh, just don't tell my husband).

When I started this card, I knew what I wanted to do, however, circumstances changed as did my thoughts.  so back to the drawing board I went, and off to Google I went to find some inspiration.

The two images I found were perfect for this card, my love of peanut butter depicted in the top images of a heart drawn in the jar and then all the wonderful goodness of peanut butter in a wordle.  You can make your own wordle here,

 Your next stop along the way is  Anita.

Oh the fun we can have when we celebrate the fun unique holidays of Papercrafts Presents 365 Cards magazine. This month, my choice of unique was Mustache March. 

For those who know me, you know I love hockey, and it is getting to be that time of year. The playoffs are just around the corner and this means, players will be starting their playoff beards. If you are a hockey buff, you will be familiar with the man in the picture below. Lanny McDonald, known for his red bushy mustache. :-) As such, I saw this to be a great way to celebrate Mustache March. All of the paper I used for this card came from the DCWV The Man Stack.

I have been waiting for a long time and just the right card to use this fun paper, and here is it..

The line-up for March includes:

Calendar Girls Blog Hop

Papercrafts Presents 365 Cards magazine which is our inspiration for these monthly hops which thus became the Calendar Girls. The magazine has Creative Ideas for every day of the year: occasions, holidays, and celebrations including 42 unique holidays!!! These unique holidays are our inspiration.

The hop starts with Janet  (http://ladyluvbug.blogspot.com/). You won't want to miss a single occasion!!!

The inside of the card says, “Just to say HI!”  (I don’t know why I don’t have a photo of the inside).

This is my first time of participating in the Calendar Girls Blog hop.  My holiday for February is Leap Year.  Every fourth year we are lucky enough to have an added day included in our calendars.  Although, I must say, I do feel sorry for the poor person(s) who are born on this day.  They only get to celebrate their birthday every four years.  However, now that I think about it, I would be a great young age had I been born on Leap Year day.

What first comes to my mind when I think about Leap Year is a big ole birthday party. A celebration like no other, after all, you have to catch up for three years of missed birthdays. Right?  Well, my idea was way to elaborate for a small card, so I went with something a little less dramatic.  Leaping Frogs…

I simply found a leaping frog online, duplicated him twice,  shrunk down two of them and printed them out on a beige sheet of paper.  I then colored them using my Prisma Watercolor Pencils and blended them with my Stampin’ Up blending pens.  To add the sentiment, I created this in Photoshop as well, and printed it (mirror image) onto my Rob Onz sheet.  I then added it to the card like you would any store bought rub on.

Thanks for stopping by here is the rest of the blog hop in case you happened upon my page without starting at the front.
