happy st patrick's day!  i'm celebrating with two pieces today. the first is a DT piece for the current challenge at lunagirl moonbeams which is "shabby green."  this challenge lasts one more week and there are some fun freebies at lunagirl moonbeams here if you want some goodies to use.  here is my piece, an ATC:


the background papers (leaves and music) and the lovely fairy are from lunagirl.  the flower is from k and company and the butterfly brad is from alphastamps.

now here is a more traditional card i made for the holiday using a free image from the graphics fairy, a site where there is truly no end of fun free images.


enjoy! love to all.

happy st patrick's day!

well i almost didn't get anything made for this wonderful holiday i've been so busy.  thank goodness for pacific time because it is still st patrick's day where i am.  if it is over where you are please accept my belated good wishes.  and for those of you in my time zone, there's still time to break out a guinness!  here is my celebratory offering, an ATC which i'm also submitting for the take a word blog challenge "GREEN".

there are two technique junkies techniques here, the plaid technique and that little strip on the left is from a leftover piece of millefiori!  the vintage image is from twisted papers and all the rest consists of papers and flowers from the good old stash.  enjoy!

love to all.
