St. Patrick's Day

When you think of St. Patrick's Day, the image that comes to mind is a shamrock. Well the challenge this week at Cricut Cardz Challenge is to make a card using any Cricut cartridge but NO SHAMROCKS!

I put my creative cap on and came up with this card. I started with the hand cut from the Designers' Calendar Cricut cartridge and added a lime green bow to serve as a reminder to everyone to wear green. I then used my Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cartridge to cut a banner out of black cardstock with the words "wear GREEN on 17" which I then mounted on lime green background paper. Green bling was added to give a feminine touch to the wrist.

I noticed that most of my other team mates at CCC used the Irish leprechan in their projucts but I tried to do something a little different. I hope you get some inspiration from my efforts not follow the typical rainbow to the pot of gold.

St. Patrick's Day Card

When I was young, my mother always celebrated St. Patrick's Day. After all, she was born in Ireland. As a youngster, I always made my mother a card for her special day. Also, I always wore green on March 17th since I am 50% Irish and I have carried on her love of St. Patrick. Today's card is a fun card with a modern twist - shamrocks made of hearts. I found Kiss me I'm Irish ribbon to finish off the card.

This card was entered in the All That Scraps Challenge St. Patrick's Day Card Challenge.

Enjoy March 17th, won't you and don't forget to wear green?
