My Pot 'O Gold

Top of the mornin' to ya my crafty friends! The ides of March are almost upon us as is St. Patty's day. This is a big holiday here in the Hudson Valley as there is a high population of Irish here. Our main street in town has a thick green stripe down the middle and this weekend was the big parade and Shamrock Run. Big doings in this little town! I have never made a card for the occasion but thought I might give it a try and enter some challenges. I love shaped cards so using my Gypsy I made a Shamrock shaped card with a rainbow and what else but a Pot 'O Gold! The rainbow, cloud and pot of gold is mounted on a Action Wobble to bring it to life! LOVE those Action Wobbles!!

Tomorrow is my "Miracle" Moms 83rd Birthday! If you don't know why she is a miracle read my last post!
Happy Birthday Mom-I  {{{{Heart}}} love you & hope you are on the mend!
Also please keep Emma (My Creative Time) & her family in your thoughts in prayers. Her husband has been ill and currently is without a diagnosis. And please let's not forget those in Japan. I was in a 6.8 earthquake-the Sylmar Quake in Los Angeles, 2/1971. To this day if something shakes my house I panic. That was minuscule in comparison to the 8.8 quake in Japan. I can't even imagine the horror those poor people are living....I can't even imagine.

On a brighter note here are the challenges entered:
My Creative Time-Throwback Thursday-Episode 175
Shelly's Images Blog- Something Green
Stamping Vacation-Name your own challenge & mine will be something green,something that moves and not your typical card shape!
 More Than Favors-Wacky Wednesday Challenge #30-St. Patrick's Day.

Blessings to Mom, Emma & Hubby & the people of Japan

B-day card with my PK Princess Faces

I finally got my Peachy Keen Princess Faces in the mail last week! Not that they were slow coming...I just couldn't order them before this. Sooo excited as I just love those precious little faces.So just by luck it happened I had a precious little girl to make a birthday card for so without wasting a second I jumped right in and made this:
Recipe:
Peachy Keen Princess Faces
Paper Doll Dress UpCart
Once Upon a Princess Cart
DCWV paper +scraps from my stash
Stickles
Various Martha Stewart Punches
Flowers I found in the Wedding section of Micheals (on clearance of course!)
Scrap Tulle for the skirt

Pink ribbon from Micheals
Bling from my Irock collection,
Action Wobble to make my ballerina dance

I think she really turned out cute & was a real hit at the Birthday party. Guess this means I will have to use the Paper Doll Cart on a regular basis, so darned cute. Those PK faces make such a difference. Also had to order more of those Action Wobbles as my free stash is running short. I am truly addicted to them.
Guess I had better put the computer away and force myself to stay out of the craft room for a few hours while I clean house. We have yet another snow storm today so it is a perfect day for cleaning and crafting and if I hurry I can get a few hours to make another card! Gee I might even clean up my messy room and make a update video on my craft room!
Later sweet friends!
