Calendar challenge : June/July

Only a day over my 1st July deadline :-)
My June birthday month held lots of promise - and exceeded expectations on the fun front :-)
This was how my calendar pages beganAnd this is the spread finished.I had such fun making an organza flower in the middle of the month, that I had thought I would make some more and add them to my pages. Unfortunately with my new job and other things happening at the end of the month, I ran out of time, and instead made some flowers with layers of cardstock and fabric secured with a brad. They did the trick, and I am very happy with my very flowery pages.
I was really keen on using stitch on my July pages. This is the base spread - I've machine stitched the pages to make the gaps for the calendar days, and the background is a lovely Starburst Spray : Hydrangea Blue.Not sure what else will happen here. I will probably use these letters somewhere on the page for the month, and I want to add some more stitch. Check back here next month to see how it turns out.
