--------------------
This month's let's try a spelling challenge, with a sketch option. One card only please!
Option One: Make a card -- any theme, any size -- with elements that start with the letters M-A-R-C-H. Your elements can be a manufacturer, color, specific item, even a tool! Go ahead and be creative in using items to match M-A-R-C-H. You also can have one "freebie" -- substitute a letter of your choice for M, A, R, C or H. However, any one item can represent only one letter. For example, a red heart could be your R for Red or your H for Heart, but not both. Any questions, please ask.
Option Two: Use the sketch below. You do not have to use the M-A-R-C-H elements. Remember, the sketch is just a starting point -- adjust sizes and elements as works for you.
Option Three, for a bonus: Use both the sketch and the M-A-R-C-H elements.
I made two samples this month. Both use the M-A-R-C-H elements and the central sentiment block of the sketch, with some variation in other sketch parts.
M - Mini Brads (by "Birthday")
A - American Crafts pink star paper
R - Ric-Rack Ribbon
C- Cake
H - Happy
M - Martha Stewart loopy border punch
A -Avery Elle puppy stamp and die
R - Ribbon (little bow on puppy)
C- Cupcake
H - Happy

Here's my entry. M is for Mad for Plaid, that's the collection the yellow layer is from. A is for Authentique, that's the company that made the green knotwork paper. R is for tape Runner which I used to glue it all together. 
, C is for Cavy...which is another name for guinea pig. H is for Heather, those itty bitty flowers you see in front of him. I looked them up...they really are little oval sideways cup shaped flowers like the ones pictured!
