Going GREEN . . .

Hello everyone!
With St. Patrick's Day coming up this weekend, I thought I'd play along in some of the GREEN challenges that are out there in Blogland!  This is going to be fun!

My first creation to share today is a fun Dare to be Sassy challenge over at Sassy Studio Designs.  Their challenge is to use GREEN and for a twist, use something 'recycled' on your creation.  I have chosen to use the front of a card I received as the background on my card as the 'recycled' requirement.   The Sassy Studio digi image I chose to use today is called 'GoGoGirl2'.


Inside View



When you don't make the desired background for the inside of your card, create your own as I have done here.  Quick & Easy!  Sorry ... camera colors are weird today!  LOL!

Recipe:
Papers:  Garden Green cs, White cs, Stamp:  My Sentiments Exactly ' Irish Blessing',  Ink:  Momento 'Bamboo Leaves', Accessories:  Cheery Lynn Designs B231 Birthday die, Provocraft vine die, Kaiser green pearls, X-press It foam mounting tape, Spectrum Noir alcohol markers

Other challenges:
Loves Rubberstamps Challenge -  Shades of Green
Twist of Faith Card Challenge #28 - Irish Blessings 
 Melonheadz Friends - Going Green
 The Pink Elephant - St. Patrick's Day/Use Green
Creative Inspirations Paint - Go Green
Gingerloft Challenge - The color Green
Eclectic Ellapu - Birthday
Great Impressions - Use green and/or something recycled
Kenny K's Krew - Birthday
The Outlawz Monday Greeting - Use Green w/sentiment on front

My second card today is a card I made last week for the All That Stickles: Green Linky Party then I couldn't locate the challenge again ... until today that is!!  Whew!  Found it!!


I've created this cute little Easter scene in Microsoft Word by using digital images from the Crafty Secrets 'Spring Bunnies' digital download.  What a fun project this was!

Recipe:
Papers:  SU Old Olive cs, Doodlebug 'Hello Spring' 2 sided dp  Accessories:  Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, Prima flowers, Lime Green Stickles, Memory Box #98438 'Big Splash Border'

Other challenges:
Crafty Calendar Challenge - Easter Egg-stravaganza
Bearly-Mine - Easter
Eureka Stamps - Spring has Sprung
Paper Playtime - Anything Goes

 Well I think that's it for me today!  Thanks so much for stopping by and I truly hope you find even just a 'teeny tiny' bit of inspiration from my work!  I know I certainly find GREAT inspiration from all of you!

Enjoy your day and until next time . . .

    Great idea to recycle a card front. Such a gorgeous sentiment and love the way you've colored the SSD image. Beautifully done. Thanks for playing along with us at SSD. Just thought I'd mention, there is a DT call going on right now as well at Sassy Studio.
