St. Pat's Irish Girl Printable

Let's stay with the Irish ancestry again this week.  Mom just swabbed the inside of her cheeks and sent off her kit last week.  Will be so interesting to find out what it shows, besides Irish.  Now that Mom's is on its way, I really want Lauren, Louisa and I to get our DNA ancestry done, too!  Just would be so cool...

This cutie works perfectly as a wee bit o' Irish for your St.Pat's cards.

She's actually part of a valentine card, so I did some work to the image, so I could have just the girl to create my St. Pat's card.  The download has the valentine card,too - just in case you want it.

Wherever you go and whatever you do may the luck of the Irish be there with you!

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.

Sweet Girl Silhouettes + A (Small) Giveaway!

The term silhouette is derived from a french finance minister named Etienne de Silhouette, who had to impose strict economic sanctions in 1759 because of war.  His name became synonymous with cheap.  Silhouettes, either painted or cut out, were way cheaper than a portrait painting!  I think silhouettes are beautiful.  Especially sweet little girls!  

(You'll have to imagine that the sequin at the top of the card is bright gold.  Could not get it to photograph correctly!)  

I'm giving away a stamp set that includes this sweet girl silhouette.  You can see the entire set at the bottom of this post.

This silhouette is one of my favorites and I've used it before.  She is adorable and I love the scene with the kitty at attention and the doll.  You can download this Sweet Silhouette below.

Check out those pretty papers.  I discovered a store called The Simple Surface.  Seriously, they have created some beautiful digital papers.

You can download the sweet silhouette image HERE.

Here's a quick peek at my sweet girls in the early morning during my last visit.  We'll have to have a silhouette of Louisa done someday!

Above is the stamp set I'm giving away.  It looks a little yellow here and there.  My set looks that way, too.  I'm thinking they use a slightly different formula in the UK to make their clear stamps.  They don't look as clear as we are used to, but it doesn't affect performance.   Along with the stamp set, I'm also sending along a couple of surprises.  
I love this stamp set.  All the silhouettes are sweet girls and I like both frames and the bows.   One commenter (you can email me, too), will be randomly selected.  Just let me know in your comment that you would like the stamps.  
Have a lovely week!

Sending Hedgehugs to You!

Sending you hedgeHUGs.  That's just adorable!  My son-in-law, Paul, had hedgehogs as pets when he was little.  He seems to think they are pretty awesome.  The closest I've been to one is sweet Hedgie in Jan Brett's books.  I have to say he is pretty awesome!  

The hedgehogs in this treat set are super cute   I got the stamps first and then came across the darling paper for the treat bag.

Here's a closer look at the card:

I already had the card made before I saw the hedgehog paper - it couldn't have been more perfect!

Love the shape of this treat bag as well.  I made it just a little squat-y.  Seems to make it cuter somehow!  Check out the video below showing how to make it:



Hopefully, you'll have a lttle something to package that would be a perfect fit for this little bag. 
Anyway, here's sending a couple of hedgeHUGs, just for you!
