April Holiday Calendar...

April is the next month in my Holiday Calendar and I chose the theme of "Spring"! After all the ice and snow of last week, I already am ready for spring! I used Spellbinders® Die D-Lites™ Gilded Gate Two and Floral Border for the focal point on this page, and then used Font One Uppercase to spell out "Spring"! I finished it off with pretty butterflies and did a bit of stenciling on the upper edge. Have you started a holiday calendar yet? All supplies are available at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store! ~ Enjoy!
