Happy Go Lucky

I was going through my paper pads, looking for something for Easter, when I came across paper with shamrocks all over it. I've had it for a while, and I completely forgot about it!

So, of course, I had to whip up something with it. I made a simple 4x4 card in honor of St. Patrick's Day.

The stamps are colored with a Sharpie, and the pieces are popped up on foam tape. I also added a little twine.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Clever Clovers

I wanted to make a card with four-leaf clovers in honor of St. Patrick's Day, but I didn't have any Cricut cartridges with that cut. My collection is still pretty small, and while I do have a cartridge with St. Patrick's Day images, it doesn't have clovers.

So I improvised. I found a flower on my Paisley cartridge that I thought might work. The "clover" is one of the button features on that cartridge.

The stamp was the inspiration for the entire card. I put some of the clovers on foam dots for dimension and added ribbon.

I left the inside of the card blank to write a note.

1st St. Patrick's Day Layout

I've been trying to catch up with my scrapbooking layouts from my daughter's first year, and I just finished her St. Patrick's Day layout. I apologize for the poor picture quality. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to photograph these. It would probably help if I took the pictures during the day, instead of around midnight. : )

I used a combination of stickers, stamps and the Simply Charmed cartridge for this page.

I used the pot of gold for journaling and added glitter glue. The border punch is so cute, but I don't use it as often as I should.

This is a cute picture of my niece and my daughter at a baseball game. After the baseball game, we went to a football game. It was an interesting St. Patrick's Day.

I love this leprechaun from Simply Charmed!

Thanks!

Wee Bit of Luck and Happiness

I decided to get into the spirit of St. Patrick's Day and created a fun little card with the leprechaun from Simply Charmed.

He's a cute little thing. I added glitter glue to his buckle and used a gem for his button. I also used foam tape to pop him up since he looks like he's jumping for joy.

The tag was cut from George and Basic Shapes. I stamped it with a set I've had for a while but never used. Here is a close-up of the tag.

Here is the inside:

Thanks!
