Leprechaun Printable + Stamp Set Winner

Have you had your DNA ancestry done?  I think that would be so much fun!  I'd love to have Louisa's done.  She would have an interesting profile, I think - European and Hispanic, at least.  Our DNA ancestry would certainly show Irish.  My mom's paternal line is Irish.  

St. Patrick's Day is fun whether you're Irish or not!  Isn't there a saying that everyone is Irish on St. Pat's Day?  So even if you don't have a speck of Irish ancestry, you can download this adorable Irish leprechaun for your St. Pat's creations. The sentiment is included.  

You can download the leprechaun HERE. 

Dropbox seems to work differently for different people.  Either right click and save when image appears or click the download button in the top right corner.  If neither method works, email me and I'll send the files to you.

Last week, I had a silhouette stamp set up for grabs.   The winner is:

Shoregirl!

Email me with your address and I'll get it off to you!

Top 'O the Morning to All of You and a fabulous week, too!

Whoo's Lucky? Printable Tags and Image!

"What are you working on?"  my husband asked.  "A St. Patrick's Day owl."  "A what??"  I know it does sound a little odd.   But I was determined.   My owl is totally inspired by these owls by Rachel Tessman.  She made hers with ready made cards from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin Kit.   So cute!
For mine, I used a strip of 4" by 10 1/2" paper folded in half.   I used circle dies to cut the top and the belly piece on each side for the wings.  The beak is a one inch square cut into a triangle.

The tags are available as a download below.

I love this vintage placecard!   I was lucky to get one of them.  I found it at one of my favorite etsy shops:  Puffadonna.    She's not necessarily St. Patricks, which is kind of great - that way I can use her for something else, too.  I think this is perfect as a little something for a friend.
If you would like to see how to make the felt shamrock, check out this post from last year.

You can download the placecard and sentiment below.

Well, another week is starting, hope it is a good and lucky one for you!

St.Patrick's Day Cards + Free Darling Image+Challenge #4

How are you?  I've seen Lauren twice in one week (they stopped last week on their way to New Orleans and stopped again on their way back), so I'm feeling pretty lucky!   I hope you're feeling as lucky as me!   

I've got a couple of St.Patrick's Day cards to share today.  I just finished all the pre-orders for St. Patrick's Day this weekend and will be mailing and delivering them next week.  

I really like the look of this shamrock.  At first, I wasn't sure about all the different green hues, but I decided to go with it.  I just gathered old papers that I've always liked and cut hearts.

What really makes this shamrock cool, is the folding and rolling of the hearts, which adds a lovely layer.
I used a heart die, but if you don't have one, I've got a pattern for you below.

If you would like a pattern for the hearts and stem, you can get it HERE.

Oh, she makes me smile!  She's so sweet collecting Shamrocks in her apron.  

If you would like to create a little something with this darling girl, you can download her HERE.  

How about a new challenge?

Link up any project related to St. Patrick's Day or has the color green.  Link up by March 16th.  One winner is chosen by random selection by InLinkz.  Prize is a $20.00 gift certificate to Papertrey Ink!

St. Pat's Easy Muslin Bag

Looking for something easy, but really cute for St. Patrick's Day?   This muslin bag may just fit the bill (or chocolate coin)...

It seems that muslin bags are just adorable all by themselves.  Dress them up a little and they are about as cute as they can be!

You just need a few supplies:

You'll also need your favorite St. Patrick's Day stamps.  I used  Lucky You from Verve Stamps.

I inked the stamps with the dark green ink first and lightly stamped it on a piece of paper to get rid of some of the ink.  Then I inked the stamps again with the lighter green.  The bow is hand sewn in place (don't sew it to the back layer!).  

Now, just add chocolate coins for a fun, tasty St. Patrick's Day treat!

Hope you have the luck of the Irish this week!

Shamrock Ornament + First Video!

I'm so excited!!!!  I just did a video on this darling Shamrock Ornament - now it's not perfect by a long shot - but it was fun and surely I'll get better at it.  It's got a couple of places where I got my head in the shot, which would be bad enough.  But the worst part is that my hair looks really wonky.  Dennis says it's because the  camera is shooting through my bangs.  But whatever the reason, it is pretty funny!  I'm going to try really hard not to get my head in the next video!!





You can watch the video right here on my blog.  It would also be really great if you could pop over to YouTube and like it for me.  You can click HERE.

Well, you can see I've got a few things to work out.  But for a first time video, I'm okay with it.  

I love the color green in this paper and I always love polka dots.  It is part of a digital download from All is Full of Love.

Hope the video is helpful and thank you for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week!

Kiss Me, I'm Irish!

Oh, what a cutie is she?   Love her big floppy hat and little puffed sleeves.  I couldn't wait to create a St. Pat's card with her! 

It's still Go Green at Paper Issues (through Saturday), a new theme rolls out on Sunday.  Stay tuned...

ETA:  I forgot to include this picture of the basket for St. Pats Day:

It's got chocolate coins inside for a treat.

Happy, Happy St. Patrick's Day! 

 Are you ready with your something green?  I would hate for you to be pinched!
