Happy St. Patrick's Day

I really don't like St. Patrick's Day cards.  I don't really use them, so I usually don't make them.  The prompt for the Scrappin'-n-Chattin' 52 Week card challenge though was to make a St. Pat's card.  So I did.

I knew I wanted to use the current sketch at My Favorite Things.  I really love their sketches each week.

I wanted a really cute image to create my card and I found one at Doodle Pantry.  I used the Irish Birdie digi, along with digital paper also at Doodle Pantry.

 



I am also entering this card in the following challenges:
Cut It Up Challenge - Green and a Die Cut  (background paper and scalloped circle)
Red Carpet Studio - The Lucky One  (lucky clover on the birdie's hat)
Cardz TV - St. Patrick's Day
Digi Sketch Challenge - Cute Challenge  (cute birdie)
Pause Dream Enjoy - Any sketch  (MFT Sketch #166)
Catch The Bug - Feeling Lucky  (lucky clover on birdie's hat)
Through The Purple Haze - Use digital elements   (birdie and background paper)

Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome Home Jäger

Yesterday we brought my son's puppy home.  He's an 8 week old Australian Shepherd.  He's so sweet and absolutely gorgeous.  I used the photo my son took of him right after they got to the apartment to create my page for the 52 Week Challenge at Scrappin'-n-Chattin'.  Jäger seems to be adjusting well.

I really wanted to join the challenge this week at Lasting Memories.  The challenge this week is a sketch and to use your favorite embellishment.  It's a nice, versatile sketch.

And my page...

I love using a zig zag pattern on boy pages.  I have a border punch that I usually use, but I found a package of rhinestones embellishment that I bought a while ago I forgot about.  There were a couple of zig zag strips.  Woohoo!!  I also added 3 rhinestone from the set at the top of the photo.

I am also entering the following challenges:

Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge - Anything Goes  (I used the Woofers and Tweeters stamp set)

Red Carpet Studio - New Year's Eve - Use something new  (I used a photo of the new puppy)

Scrappin' 4 Fun Challenges - Baby  (Jäger's a baby doggy)

This page will also be entered into the Stamping monthly challenge at SnC.

Thanks for looking...
