Decorate To Celebrate - St. Patty's Day!

Happy Wednesday!

St. Patty's Day is TOMORROW?!?!
That's crazy!

What fun traditions do you have for this fun holiday?

I wear green, that's about the extent of it for me :)

Well, over at Decorate To Celebrate,
why don't you show off some fun ways you decorate
for St. Patrick's Day?


Here is a fun vase I made using
some tags tied with twine.
The sentiment is from a Fiskar's Holiday Set.
The shamrock is cut from Create A Critter 2.

And who says plastic grass is just for Easter?
I filled the bottom of the vase with it and then
I can add Gold Coins or whatever on top;
I will most likely fill it with Rolo's
wrapped in gold foil :)

I hope you will join us over at Decorate to Celebrate!

BBTB2 - Wearin' of the Green

Happy Monday!

So does the "Leprechaun" visit your house on St. Patty's Day?
My 7 year old is talking about him this year and 
I just don't know about it...

Anyway, we all better be thinkin' green this week
because over at BBTB2 we want
to see your St. Patrick's Day projects :)

These cute clovers are from Create A Critter 2.
They are found under the Icon Feature.
I cut them out at 3 1/2"
and added some foam tape to make them pop.

My base mat is from The Paper Studio,
the other papers are from my scrap stash.

I hope you will join us this week
over at BBTB2!

My Project:
For my project today, I decided to use

but I liked how this one looked for my card.
I cut it at 2 1/2".

My background paper is from The Paper Studio,
the others were just in my stash.

I used some twine from We R Memory Keepers,
and the sentiment is from a Hero Arts set.

I hope you will join us over at Cut It Up!
