Pile It On Challenge # 11: St. Patrick's Day/Shades of Green

Happy Sunday my crafty friends! It's time for another fun challenge at Pile it On. This week we are celebrating St. Patrick's Day with green projects! Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp. This weeks winner will get a $15 gift certificate to the shop! Now onto my project for this week:

My card was inspired by the current challenge sketch over at Mojo Mondays. When I saw what our challenge was for this week I found this cute little Shamrock stamp at Bugaboo and thought it would be perfect.

I also got a new stamp set from Pink by Design for St. Patrick's Day. It's called Luck o' the Irish. I'm still relatively new to stamping (digital and clear) and it is definitely NOT my strong suit. But I recently got one of those Fiskars stamp presses, and OMG such a difference!! It's the little things, folks! ;)

I added some bling-y brads for a little added interest. So that is my project for you this week. Please come and join us and pile on the challenges with those St. Patty's Day and green projects!!

Cooking with Cricut Challenge: Purple, Green and Sketches

I am so excited to present my FIRST Cooking with Cricut Design Team project!! The challenge this week is to incorporate the colors purple and green with the provided sketch. Halloween is my FAVORITE holiday, so if you give me purple and green in the middle of October, I'm going to have to do a Halloween page! For this page I used a solid frame background from Storybook for the scalloped background, and Paper Dolls Dress up for all the cute little critters. I cut the ghost, moon and stars out of glitter paper to give them a little more sparkle (and less mess!), then popped them all up on glue dots for a little more dimension. All of the paper and the chipboard pumpkin border are from American Crafts. The 'Trick or Treat' title is a stamp from Inkadinkado. Here is the fabulous sketch I used:

And my finished project! (Along with some close-ups of the critters) :)

These are my 3 nephews: Brayden (a nerd), Braxton (Spiderman) and Nevin (the baby from "Addams Family), How cute are they!

I used a white pen from American Crafts to draw on the detail on the cats.

I cut these pieces out of glitter paper to add a little sparkle!

So there's my project, I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope you will join in the fun this week! Can't wait to see all the fun things you create with this weeks' challenge!
