Keyword : CT1208.
MORE IS MORE : Take
any project, and show a very minimal simple version + a stepped up version,

Wondering if someone could post a link to a list of Obscure Holidays. I used to have one, but lost the bookmark.

Here's my take on the sketch as well as the Obscure Holiday Challenge - I went with May 6th's National Teacher's Day. I made a calendar for my sister who is a teacher. I used the sketch as the main panel on the front of the pouch:

Here's mine for the inspiration... I chose March because of the wonderful blue delft and windmill. Hope to get to the sketch too... it's been a busy month! Thanks so much for looking!

Well, who knew there were so many obscure holidays.
I love watching birds, so I made
this in celebration of International Migratory Birds Day. Not that we have a whole load of migratory birds here, and especially not in the garden, so there is a little stay-at-home bird tucked in the bottom looking wistfully up. There is even a sentiment with the Flourishes set that ses *fly away with me*, I suppose I should have fit that in somewhere.
