Going Green...

Hello, friends and family!

I saw that the challenge for March at Great Impressions Stamps, is 'Going Green', and just couldn't resist a clean and simple card of green!  Actually, CAS is all I have had time to create!  This card was truly a 10-minute creation...

Great Impressions Stamps: D405 Just Me. Thinking of You., Amuse cardstock, Great Impressions Shamrock Die, Adirondack "Lettuce" Dye Ink, Kaiser Craft Pearls, Dimensional Foam, Spellbinder's Die.

I folded the card, stamped the darling Great Impressions sentiment with green ink, used a Spellbinder die to cut it out, cut two strips of coordinating Amuse CS for the 'banner', and die cut two shamrocks using an Impression-Obsession die.  Popped up the sentiment with foam squares, added the shamrocks and pearls.  Voila!  Took me much longer to type it than to make it :)    Ha ha...it IS easy being green!!!




Now, on a personal note...


Thanks so much to all who have emailed, or called to check on us.  We are all okay - the last few weeks have just been very busy, leaving me little to no time to even check email, much less, create.  I appreciate each of you who have e-mailed, facebook messaged, or called to see about me.  We have a lot of personal changes going on in our lives, and they have been time consuming, and emotionally stressful, leaving me with very little computer time.  Hopefully, by mid-April or so, things will be back to more of a normal routine.
In the meantime, if I don't get by to see you, hang in there!  I am zipping by, and peeking in on you, just not able to comment on every post.

Hugs and blessings,
Patti J.

    So pretty - I love CAS - although I don't do it very well, and this is the same Spellbinders set I got - I think we will use it for sure. Love the AMuse greens and hate that the gingham is gone - maybe we need to petition them to bring it back LOL.

    Patti, beautiful card. I love how you took an ordinary sentiment and turned it into an Irish card with the shamrocks and lace. Thanks for sharing.

    No WAY you made that card so quickly...it's amazing! I do so love St. Patrick's Day, but it's a bit overshadowed by anticipated arrival of my granddaughter...LOL

    Boohoo about your daughter leaving for so long. It sounds like a great opportunity for her, but we mothers prefer our kits a little closer!

    Hugs!

    You said clean and simple, but you didn't say beautiful -- it is!

    This is a CAS card. I do not do well with these, I always think they are missing something. I really like this with gingham card stock and will use your card as inspiration. Thx for checking my blog!
