Wearing of the Green

I've combined Dies R Us and Bugaboo Digi Stamps to create a card to celebrate St. Patty's Day coming up on the 17th.  My sample card for the challenge this month was a fun one.  


I thought a little green beer wouldn't hurt anything.  I made this image a modern take using the cool grays instead of warming her up.  I think she's already warmed up with that beer.  
Happy St. Patrick's Day

A close-up of this darling below.
You can find me at A Bit of This and That

Supplies:
Bugaboo Digi Stamps JJ Calendar Months - March
Elizabeth Craft Designs Flourish with Flowers at Dies R Us
Memory Box Hello Script, but you could use the Poppy Stamps Fancy hello as well.

Welcome to our newest Team member

Hi there.  One of our team, Rebecca, has stepped down but we are now happy to welcome our latest member of the team.

Welcome Carol Gunn....
Carol Gunn

Here's a little about her.

"I am a silver haired wife, mother of four, and nonna of eight, living in Hamilton, New Zealand. I have been a crafter ever since I can remember; with my grandmothers and mother being crafters what chance did I have really?

I love working with paper and fabric, so on my blog you will see both aspects of my work. I don't seem to have a specific style (too easily distracted) and like to have a go if something takes my fancy. I hope you will enjoy the variety, and maybe be inspired to try something for yourself."

You can visit Carol at her blog  Carol G... CreationsNZ.  There is lots of amazing interesting projects and, as Carol told me, she loves to make at least one card a day, so there is lots to see.  Please give her a warm welcome. 

Here's a little sample of Carol's cards
