Sisterhood of Crafter's Challenge

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
WOW!  Can you believe it's the middle of MARCH already!  
YEAH! ... that means Spring is right around the corner!!  (I HOPE!)

March is a very busy month for me this year!  
St. Patty's Day on the 17th (hubby's family is of Irish decent).
Granddaughter's 21st birthday is on the 30th.
And of course, Easter is on the 31st!
Going to be a FUN month with LOTS to CELEBRATE!

Today's challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters is based on St. Patty's Day ...

Cards or projects using
MAINLY GREEN PAPERS

Now I must admit, I went a little crazy with this challenge, but I hope you find inspiration along the way in this 'photo heavy' post ... {sorry!}  Here's what I'm talking about . . .


First is this fun St. Patty's Day card that I'm sending along to hubby's brother & family.
Stamps:  Shamrocks - Hampton Arts, Leprechaun - Inkadinkado, Irish Blessing - My Sentiments Exactly

A few challenges:
Cuttin' and Stampin Challenge - St. Patrick's Day
Loves Rubberstamps Challenge - St. Patrick's Day or Shades of Green
Party Time Tuesday - Luck of the Irish
Sweet Stamps #108 - St. Patrick's Day
Twist of Faith Card Challenge #28 - Irish Blessings (see inside sentiment)
Melonheadz Friends - Going Green
Tammy's Scrapin Corner #53 - Include a Shamrock
The Pink Elephant - St. Patrick's Day/Use Green
Creative Inspirations Paint - Go Green
Gingerloft Challenge - The color Green
Glitter n Sparkle - St. Patrick's Day/use green
Scrappy Frog - Luck 'o the Irish


I love putting purple and green together on a creation so this was my chance!
Papers:  SU Old Olive cs, SU Sage cs, K&Co. 'Madeline' dp,
Stamps:  JustRite 'Botanical Butterflies
Ink:  Momento 'Bamboo Leaves'
Accessories:  Cheery Lynn Designs 'Build a Flower 1', Cheery Lynn Designs 'DL102 French Pastry' doily die,  Cheery Lynn Designs 'DL112 Exotic Butterflies' Small,  Memory Box 'Chesapeake Scrollwork' die, Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, purple Stickles



Yes ... I needed a 'belated birthday' card so again ... this was my opportunity. 
Papers:  Basic Grey 'Origins' dp, SU old olive cs
Stamps:  Just For Fun (front), Rubber Cottage (inside)
Ink:  Versafine Onyx 
Accessories:  Offray olive satin ribbon, Spellbinder Labels 1, Provocraft vine die



Even though this card looks brown, it is actually an olive green shade.  The design paper is from the Basic Grey 'Sugared' paper pack.  I decided to create a gate fold card this time ... they are so easy and so much fun to create.
Stamps:  Verve stamps 'Kind Words', Endless Creations
Accessories:  Spellbinder Labels 2, SU Photo Corner punch, Prima flower (bunched 3 small flowers together to make 1 larger/fuller flower)


Are you still with me?  Hope so!
Thanks so much for stopping by today and please come join in our challenge fun at The Sisterhood of Crafters.  I'll be looking for your creation!  I promise to come take a peek and leave you a comment!


Till next time and as always . . .
