BBTB2 - St. Patrick's Day

The start of a new week is upon us, and with it a new challenge over at 

BBTB2!!!

And it's all about St. Patrick's Day!!!

What a fun holiday! Do you always play along with the "pinching"? It was fun in elementary school, right?  Well, even if I don't go out looking for people who aren't wearing green,

I do like to decorate my house for it.

So I created an EASY PEASY home decor piece!

I just buy 4x4 ceramic tiles from Home Depot cut a piece of decorative pattern paper, Mod Podge that right on the tile and then figure out what cut I will add to it.  In this instance, I just cut the phrase "St. Patrick's Day" from Designer's Calendar out of some fun green glitter paper and used Mod Podge to glue that on too.

SO SIMPLE, yet so festive.

Here is a close up of the glitter paper - still kind of hard to see :)

And here is my little table that I decorated with some other crafts and cards

I hope that you will join us this week over at BBTB2 for our fun challenge of St. Patty's Day!

My Project:

Welcome to another Super Scraps Saturday!!! I LOVE going through my scrap stash and discovering AWESOME papers that have long been forgotten!!!  I was so excited to find this flowering Spring paper to create a bright and beautiful Spring card!  I used Birthday Bash for the scalloped circle card shape, cut at 5 1/4"; and Once Upon A Princess for the butterfly, cut at 2 1/2".  My stamp is from a Fiskars mini set and I used flat back pearls from Hobby Lobby's The Paper Studio.  I followed the sketch from Die Cuttin' Divas so I will be linking this up over there, and Cuttin' and Stampin' has a challenge to use a butterfly so this will be shared over there too.  I hope that you will be able to join in the HIMCR challenge this week and be sure to check out all the DT projects - they are fabulous, as always!

Decorate To Celebrate #70 - St. Patrick's Day

I am so happy it's finally March!!! It just means Spring is right around the corner, 

but before that gets here St. Patty's Day will be upon us along with all things green!  

Today over at Decorate To Celebrate we want to see how you celebrate this lucky holiday.  I needed to add something more to my home decor stash so I created some fun festive blocks.  I had my husband cut some small blocks that measure 1 1/2", then I painted them with some green acrylic paint.  I used Kate's ABC's to cut the pattern paper into scalloped squares and for the letters.  I used Mod Podge to attach the paper to the blocks.  The horseshoe is cut from Create-A-Critter 2 and the shamrocks are from Designer's Calendar.  I glittered up those three cuts for a bit of sparkle and shine.  I inked around all the corners of the blocks with some ColorBox Dark Brown Chalk Ink.  I then sprayed the front of the blocks with some Elmer's spray glue to solidify the glitter and letters.  I had some gold wire ribbon in my stash that I attached with a glue dot.  I am happy with how this turned out! I hope you get your green on and play along with us over at Decorate To Celebrate, and remember you can always submit Birthday projects too!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps - 3 Digital Images

My Project:

Happy Weekend!!!  

Today over at HIMCR we are starting a much needed challenge:

SPRING COLORS!!!

I don't know about you, but I am ready for flowers and sunshine!

So for my card, I was able to work with the Bitty Bugs Digi Image from Sweet n' Sassy Stamps.  Super cute bitty bugs!!!  I colored them with my Bic Mark It's and fussy cut them out - does anybody else hold their breath while fussy cutting?

I cut my circles using the George and Basic Shapes Cartridge.

All my pattern paper comes from Heidi Grace "Sunshowers" pack and 

my sentiment is from a Studio G stamp set.

I hope you are able to join us this week for our Spring Colors Challenge over at HIMCR!
