A Pint of Chocolate St. Patty's Day Love . . .

I saw these plastic beer mugs in the $1 spot at Target (I *might* like shopping there), and I knew it would be perfect for this good luck Riley. I had been talking about this with my hubby a couple days before and we had talked about using a glass mug and how that would not work because 1) we love our mugs and 2) too expensive to waste. I had so much fun making this! I can't wait to give it away to someone on St. Patty's Day. Nothing beats a pint of almond kisses!!! I wrapped it in cellophane for easy delivery.

Stamps: Horse Shoe Riley (Hanna Stamps) Paper: Green Galore (SU!), Green Clovers 12x12 (Die Cuts With a View), Solar White Classic Crest (Neenah) Ink: Onyx Black Versafine Accessories: Clear Embossing powder (SU!), diamond stickles (Ranger), copic ciao markers (Imagination International Inc.), Assorted green and white ribbons, red line sticky tape, almond hershey kisses, $1 spot beer mug, cellophane.

St. Patricks Day is getting closer . . . have you thought of a fun way to celebrate yet? I saw some fun recipes on allrecipes to try. Link your fun and creative celebrating ideas to this post, I would love to hear what you and your little leprechans are doing this year!!!

So cute. Something better than those kisses - did they come up with a chocolate mousse kiss? Pun intended! I think that would make a great birthday present for me since my birthday is St. Patrick's Day! My husband will be out of town and our bosses will be out of town all week so I should expect the worst to happen at work since another guy and I will be in charge. Afterall, my dog's name is Murphy after Murphy's Law! Anyway, enough blabbering on - great project!

Cute mug, what a great find. Seems I never find anything at our local Targets. Riley...he is just too cute, no matter what he is doing, LOL

We don't celebrate St. Patricks day. When my DH was little, his family would give up candy for lent. So on St. Patrick's day, half way to Easter, they were allowed to eat candy, LOL

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

Pinecone Balls Revisited

So lately I have been noticing that a lot of the traffic to my blog has been to the tutorial on how to make the pinecone balls that I put together about a year ago. SO, due to the increase in popularity, I thought I would get rid of some of my extra supplies on hand (because I made some already this year again and my fingers are sore enough) -- I have decided to giveaway a kit that contains enough supplies to make three balls. It features some great papers and ribbon and will be similar to the ones you may have seen at orientaltrading.com . I know it is not a huge giveaway, but I thought it would be fun! To enter, tell me what your favorite Christmas tradition is in the comments section of this post. I will draw a random winner on December 1st , so enter today!!! UPDATED: We have a WINNER -- Post number 44 was chosen using the random number generator and the winner is *drum roll please* Rosella said... WOW! I'd love to make some of these beautiful pinecones! I think my fa...
