Top o’ the mornin’ to you and a thousand welcomes! Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We are whooping it up here on the blog with a couple of special treats :) First up is my card for the Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Hop. It’s on the 17th of every month which eventually leads us to March 17th and St. Patty’s Day! No complaint here! It seems appropriate that and Irish company take centre stage for my birthday celebration :) The challenge this month is to show some “Luck.” Easy to do with the Irish Blessings set. So that’s where I started. Then I thought it would be fun to add a little rainbow to one of the shamrock’s leaves.
If you’ve been here before on St. Patrick’s Day, you know that I love to offer up some Birthday Blog Candy. It’s not a party without presents, right? So here’s what’s up for this year… a collection of some of my favourite stamps, dies and embellishments.
1. Stronger Love stamp set by Verve Stamps
2. Lucky You stamp set by Verve Stamps
3. Shamrock Die set by Verve Stamps (coordinates with the Lucky You set)
4.Thanks a Bunch stamp set by Clearly Besotted Stamps
5. Bakers Twine pack from We R Memory Keepers
6. Gemstones Ritz Collection in green
7. 1 meter of green organza mini roses trim by Maya Road
And it’s easy to enter! Just leave me a comment on today’s post with your favourite type of cake! YUM! My mom always made me a cake with green icing :)
I’ll pick a winner next Sunday at noon (March 24th). Please make sure you leave an email in your comment if your name is not linked to an email address through Blogger. The winner will have 3 days to contact me, otherwise I’ll randomly pick a new winner.
Thanks so much for visiting and have a glorious GREEN DAY!
