A Card For My Wild Irish Rose..um..Husband

For my March prize giveaway, click HERE

Hello My Friends,

I want to show you the card I made my husband for St. Patrick's day.  He loves the more adult, sexy digital stamp and I found the perfect one at Stitchy Bear Stamps.

Her name is Sweet Shamrock, I think hubby will like her!

Here is a close-up of the digital stamp.

Wow!  A lot of you have asked me where I got the Shamrock Embossing Folder.  I bought it on-line a few years ago, I can't find it now.  It you put Shamrock Embossing Folder into the Google Search Engine, you do find this folder being sold on e-bay and Etsy.  Maybe I should get another one and have it be the prize for next March?  What do you think?

Hello My Friends,

You know I am always looking for cute little gifts that I can make for my Daisy Girl Scout Troop.  I came across a really cute one on Every Day Is An Occasion.  Leprechaun seeds from Jill.

She even gives you the little leprechaun & poem.  If you would like them, click Here.   Here is a close up of the leprechan & poem.

I used Itty Bitty Glassine Bags from Trendy Twine and the new Twisted Lime Twine from Trendy Twine.  The seeds are Skittles.

PCW Terrific Tuesday SVG Link-Up

For my March Prize please click HERE.

Good Morning My Friends,

I am away from home right now so I have set this up to post automatically, hope it works!  Today is Terrific Tuesdays SVG Link Up!  Here is my project.

I have to say, I am quite proud of this piece.  It is a frame, it was very detailed, took me hours to make but I loved every minute of making her.  The best part was that when my husband came home and saw her, he was really impressed.  This is the cutting file that I used.

If you like her, you can purchase her HERE.  I decided to have her shamrocks cascade out of the basket.

I also made the cardboard frame to stand her up on.  Here is a picture of that.

It isn't pretty but it works!

Gals, please go to My Paper Crafting to see what the rest of the design team has made today and get your free cutting file and then play along with us!  I don't know what the free cutting file is going to be this week because I am away, so it will be a surprise for me too!

Ideas for St. Patrick's Day Party

Good Morning,

We are getting a closer and closer to St. Patrick's day and our annual party!  Here is a fun idea.   I don't know if I thought of this myself or saw it on Pinterest   Who can tell these days?  There are so many ideas out there in cyber space it is hard to know if you are having an original thought!

Anyway, I bought some green napkins and a shamrock folder and ran them through my big shot.

I think they turned out very cute!

I also made a celtic knot box with my cameo silhouette.  I am not sure I like the color, think I am going to get a greener green.  I am going to fill them with skittles (what you find at the end of the rainbow) and put them on the table as little gifts for my guest.  Here is an example.  I will post again when I make more.

So those are my preparations so far, hope you are all having a great weekend!

St. Patrick's Scavenger Hunt

For My March Prize Giveaway Please Click HEREl

Good Morning!

I am planning an adult St. Patrick's day party.  I have invited the grown-up kids next door, but I have not forgotten my grand babies next door who will have to stay with a babysitter.  I have made them this really cool scavenger hunt game.  The prize is a Pot of Gold!  

I think this is really going to be fun!  Here is a closer look at the Pots of Gold.

I cut them out on my silhouette, added some pretty green twine and stickeled the shamrock.  Then added some chocolate gold coin candies.

Here is a close up of the game

Cameo Creations Challenge

Good Morning,

I was hopping around to all my gal-pal's blogs to say hello and I stopped by Chick-n-Scrap's blog.  She is on a Design Team for Cameo Creations Challenge!  Oh My Gosh!  I did not even know such a challenge existed!  Now I can combine my love of my Cameo Silhouette with my love of challenges!  Whoo Hoo!  The challenge that they are having right now is called "Feeling Lucky?"  You have to make something on your Cameo and put some bling on it.  I wonder if they have a limit to how many times you can enter?  If not, they are in trouble because 

1. The Real's celebrate St. Patrick's Day in a BIG way.  We have a big party to remember all our Irish ancestors who have passed on (and to drink & eat a lot).
2.  I am going to make everything I possibly can make that has to do with St. Patrick's day on my Cameo!  So fun!!!!!!

So here is my first card.

It is a tri-fold card base.  You may think it looks simple to make, but all those shamrocks had to be glued on individually....lol!  I added green stickle for the bling and a cute lollipop sticker that says "Kiss Me I'm Irish".  

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I appreciate all of your comments!
