Lucky Charms layout done two ways

Going through sketches from various blogs I found some great ones to use 

 for my grandkids St. Patricks Day pictures.  I am finally using my Picturemate Photo Printer to make these smaller size pics for the first layout.  

This page is for me and has all 4 grandkids on it.  

I only had a few pages of St. Patrick's paper so started with that.  

The 4 leaf clover and title Lucky Charms came from Silhouette America.  

The little buttons are ones I bought for the kids to wear and then I added them to the page.  

The green and copper flowers are from my stash.  

This is the original sketch for the challenge at  Let's Capture Our Memories 

created by Laura Whittaker.  Sketch 115 

I turned the sketch sideways for the photos I wanted to use.  

 Check out the challenge here Let's Capture Our Memories 

Sketch 115 

I am also entering this on Rochelle Spears  Blog.  

She is having a March Tic Tac Toe Challenge 

I used the middle row going down-  Polka dot paper, Color Green and Something that sparkles.  

The polka dot paper is under the music staff.  

There is sparkly glitter on the journal piece, the music staff and the  other small pieces of paper.  

I also did a page for my daughter with a two photo sketch from  

Rochelle Spears at Sketches in Thyme 

I used the same title and shamrocks from the first page  but added 

the little Leprechaun from Silhouette America.  

I added ribbon across the bottom and some gems 

This is the original sketch 

And I turned it sideways too.

Fun rainbow candy project for St. Patrick's

Last week I found these wonderful St. Patrick's Day treat bags on the following blog.  http://bethproudfoot.blogspot.com/2011/02/youre-my-pot-o-gold.html  I thought they were so cute so I went out and got the candy and bags to make them.  For the top I cut a St. Patrick's Card from Spring Seasonal Carts.  This is one of those projects that makes me miss teaching as I would have loved to make these for my students.  So instead I made them for bible study group, MOPS group and some neighbor kids.  Funny thing is big kids get just as excited as little kids when you give them an unexpected treat.  To make them you need pretzal bags from M's, rainbow twizzlers, and gold chocolate coins.   Thanks Beth for the great treat idea.

St, Patrick's Day Cards

Here are some of the St. Patrick's cards I made for friends and family.  Saving my favorite card and my St. Pat's layout for the Blog Hop on Thursday and Friday..  This is actually the first shape card I made by welding the shapes on my Gypsy.  

Bitten by the Bug 2 Challenge- St. Patrick's Ladybug card

The challenge this week on BBTB2 was to make something with a ladybug.  Since we call our 14 month old grand daughter Katie Bug I had to do this challenge.  Plus I want a blinkie for my blog!    Well in the middle of the night when I wasn't sleeping I came up with this idea for St. Patrick's using the ladybug from Paisley.  The shamrock is from Paper Doll Dressup.  There is also a  shamrock border on PDDU on the very last page that is really nice.  I cut it out but didn't need it for this card.  Card is 5 x 7 and ladubug is cut at 4 inches.
