Lucky Clover

A bit late, but here it is. My March calendar page using House Mouse image O Lucky Day with Adirondacks alcohol inks Lettuce and Meadow with some gold mixative (Tim Holtz) polished stone background and SU buttons.
Cardstocks: Glossy White, Handsome Hunter, and Garden Green.
My sister was always very good at finding four leaf clovers. I don't know how she did it, but once she even managed to find our cousin's lost contact lens on our front lawn. How lucky is that!

Go Green

Happy early St. Patrick's Day! I used the Season of Friendship tree in Basic Brown with some unmounted shamrock stamps I had in my collection in Old Olive and Garden Green. Very Vanilla card base that was embossed with the Elegant Bouquet folder with Chocolate Chip matting. Olive taffeta ribbon (retired) and Going Green stamp from Occasions mini by SU.

Go Green

I used Best Creations shamrock paper with Garden Green and Whisper White cardstocks by SU with the Occasions mini set Go Green. The white panel was embossed with the Spellbinders Impressabilities die for added texture and also the Swiss Dot folder for the designer paper. Green is a color I almost never use but it sure works for St. Patrick's Day!

Sweet Treats Shamrock

For Monday's Clean And Simple makeover challenge, I chose the bottom card from last year and made it over, still using the Always heart in Garden Green, textured embossing with the Texturz plate, and the Sweet Treats cups.

O Lucky Day!

This week our Doubledog Dare Challenge is to make a card for St. Patrick's Day. You could make it a regular Good Luck card also but I would love to see a bit o' green! Please feel free to come and join us, no deadlines or rules, just use the keyword DDC so we can find your creation.
House Mouse stamp O Lucky Day colored in markers with some pearlescent chalks, Best Creations designer paper. Cardstock is SU Handsome Hunter (it looks almost black in the photo), Garden Green.

Green Beer? Inchies Challenge

Today's Belli Challenge hosted by Chrissy Dickinson was to use inchies.
I used a little leprechaun stamp by Sonlight Impressions colored in markers, layered with Garden Green, Brushed Gold, and Whisper White cardstocks. Tied with stretchy gold cord. Glass was etched white shamrocks on it, I filled with green and white jelly beans to look like St. Patty's Day beer. I will seal this with plastic wrap and a round bit of lace and some ribbon to give as gifts.

More Inchie offerings from the Belli Team:
Joan Ervin, Anne Harada, Holly Brown, Chris Dickinson, Courtney Fowler, Ceal Pritchett, Christi Thorsen, Danita Hollander, Shelly Koskinen, Karen, Shannon

Doubledog Dare Challenge- Humor :)

Our Doubledog Dare Challenge was hosted this week by Anne (jdmommy) and she challenged us to make a humorous card. We'd love it if you played along, we could all use a laugh to get us through a cold winter day. (If you post on SCS please use DDC in your keywords so we can find you.)
I combined this with today's Limited Supply Challenge which was to make a card that is slightly different than how you would normally approach it. I really wanted to do more coloring and shading on the main image, but only colored in the bird. I kept it embellishment free which was really hard for me, and I reached for a set that I haven't used in at least a year. An added bonus is that it is a flat card and will not require extra postage!
I have always loved Snoopy, ever since I was a little kid. I have quite a collection of Snoopy stamps (and other collectibles) because he just makes me happy. Peanuts was an all time favorite comic of mine along with The Family Circus, Calvin & Hobbes, and the Farside Gallery. When I was a little girl I wanted to be Brenda Starr when I grew up.
What were some of your favorites?
