St. Paddy's Day

Saint Patrick's Day!

Although there isn't any Irish blood in our family we still like to celebrate the day.  What I mean by celebrate is prepare all the foods that we love to eat on St. Patrick's Day.  So, I made corned beef and cabbage because we all like that.  But as a twist I made a green pudding pie for a snack later tonight.  We will see how that goes over with the family.

I had time to do this one card with my idea of a 4 leaf clover.  I hope you like it!

I used:

• Cuttlebug "Swiss Dots"
• Sizzix "Large Dots"
• Green Crystal sticker
• White shear ribbon
• "Good Luck" from StampinUp's Fundamental Phrases

Busy Sunday!

No crafting today unfortunately.  Lots of moss in my yard that has to be cleaned up before we can put more grass seed down.  I am trying to improve my lawn because in June my son is graduating and we will be having family come for the big event.  I want everything to look nice.  Well, easier said then done.  It is not so easy to dig this stuff up when it is mixed in with good grass and we have such a large area that needs to be done.  I usually like working in the yard but this was no fun at all.  I also spent time paying bills and going over some lesson plans with a friend that is working on her masters in teaching.  So, it was a busy day with no crafting.  Hopefully I will be back to crafting soon!

New Home Card

My fantastic Hair Stylist just bought her first home.  I see her on Monday so I thought I would make her a card.  All diminsions are set on 5 1/2 inches on the Cricut

I used:

• Cricut "Wild Card" house and envelope
• Cuttlebug "Swiss dots, Forest Branches, Tiny Bubbles and Tiny Mosaic"
• Jim Holtz distress ink
• Kelly Panacci paper

Thinking of you card

Okay, I must confess.  Have you ever found a ribbon that you loved and you knew that you had to do a project with it?  Well.....that is what happened here.  I love the way that purple and green look together too. 

I used:

• Rhinestone stickers
• "Pearls" by Kaisercraft
• StazOn Black ink
• Cuttlebug "Stylized Flowers
• ribbon from Michaels

Father's Day Card

I am always....and I do mean always looking for ideas for male cards.  I have many males in my life and they like home made cards just as much as the ladies.  So this is one of my male cards for Father's day.  Let me know what you think!

I used:

• "Bird Call" Cuttlebug
• "Happy Everything" stamp from  Indadindado
• square silver brad
• tan embossing string
• green and tan card stock
• "Autum Terracotta" ink from Close to my Heart

Some cards from my old blog.  If you have any questions about what I used please let me know and I will get back to you.  Thanks

Oh Boy, this blog thing has not been as easy as I thought

I have had to switch blogs because I got a virus.   I don't know how it happened but it did.  Thanks for sticking with me and sorry for the difficulties.  So I am going to give it another try.  Starting tomorrow I will be transferring over my old stuff and posting new stuff.  Thanks for hanging in there <3
