Leprechauns!!

Oh Happy Monday everyone! Did ya have a good weekend? I sure did--I got a lot of projects completed, visited with friends (waving hi to Marti, Amy & Tiffaney) and went to the movies with the family! We went to see "Race To Witch Mountain" which was my absolute favorite Disney movie & books when I was younger. But I will tell you that you should think twice about taking children under ten, because it is violent and very intense. I was sitting on the edge of my seat & jumping the whole time--very, very intense for sure! Not like the old movie at all--but I did really like it, it was very good! Just not the type of movie I would recommend for younger kids :o)

I've only got one project to share today (gasp, lol)---I was supposed to be sharing a Whiff of Joy preview for you but I didn't get my pictures taken in time :o( So I'll share a peek with ya tomorrow for sure! And if you didn't check out my Easter Blog Hop Projects yesterday, make sure and scroll down to the next post to see :o)

This is my ode to St. Patty's Day using one of the cute Alva images from Magnolia-licious! Of course for this project she is really a lil' leprechaun ok--hee hee! She's such a fun stamp cuz' you can color her & use her for any holiday project--I love her!! I picked up this fun green mug from the $1 Spot at Target a few weeks ago, knowing that it would make an awesome gift holder! I wrapped it with dp from SU, ribbons from PTI and filled with green Jellybelly's of all flavors--YUM! This fun gift is going to a good friend of mine, who just might be a lil' Irish :o)

A close-up to show you her fun red hair and the Angel Wingz Shimmerz I used on her to make her super sparkly!

And a close-up of the sentiment which is from Studio G (from Marti's store)--Studio G has such great sentiments in each set and since they're only $1 its a great deal all around! I stamped over the sentiment lightly with a swirl from the same set & inked the edges!

Hope ya liked it! I'll be back tomorrow with a long post for ya--I've got a St. Patty's Day project for ya tomorrow, a Whiff of Joy sneak peek and a Greeting Farm project too!

hugz,

Thank Goodness its Friday cuz' it was a LONGGG week, lol! Hubby and kids have off Monday & Tuesday so we have a nice, long weekend ahead of us--yahoo! I'm sure you all heard the news yesterday about that awful plane crash in NYC--thank god no one was hurt but this DOES NOT help me feel good about flying to CHA next week. I was already super nervous & now I'm thinking of ways to not go---eeekkkkk---I don't know if I'm gonna make it, but we'll see. My friends will kill me if I back out now---oh that's even scarier, LOL! Anyway, I'll stop talking about my plane fears (at least for now, hee hee)!

Alrighty then, let's move on to cuteness for the day! Diana sent me these new elf images from Magnolia-licious and this one is "Alva with Flower" and oh my how I love these elfs. I have an elf fetish I think cuz' I just love 'em all, lol! I paired her up (very appropriately me thinks) with the new DCWV "The Green Stack" which is made of 70% recycled papers and the patterns are perfect for elf images--love this pack, DCWV can do no wrong!! I purposefully left off a sentiment so I could use this for any occasion. That cute lil' ribbon charm is by Blue Moon and you can get them at Susana's Custom Art & Card Design--this is in the medium heart assortment but she has TONS of choices. They're all so fun its hard to pick just a few...!

This close-up shows all the Shimmerz I used (golden wheat & angel wingz) on her. I used the Shimmerz on the embossed flowers behind her. If you haven't tried the Shimmerz yet you really should...they're so sheer that you can put a nice coat over your colored image and they dry so fast, I love 'em! I also used distressed stickles on her leafy skirt border and the flower center. Looking at this card just makes me feel cheerful & happy--I love the brightness of it all & hope you do too!

Alrighty, I'm off to breakfast for a friend's birthday and then getting my hair done---(can't show any roots at CHA ya know, lol)! Hope you all have a great weekend!

hugz,
Suzanne
