Lucky Shamrock Card

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm getting ready for St. Patrick's Day over on the Cheery Lynn Blog. I created this festive square card by die cutting 4 each of the Two of Hearts dies and layering them to create petals on my four-leafed clover. Next I arranged them on a hex-shaped background--I placed my shapes using the frame as a gluing template. The flourish acts as a stem for my lucky four-leafed clover! I added some clear Wink of Stella to the top hearts for a bit of sparkle.

Cheery Lynn Dies used

Two Of Hearts - DL128

Honeycomb - FRM145

Fanciful Flourish - B117

 Thank you for stopping by!! I hope you enjoy my card!

leslierahye's Hippity Hoppity Steampunk Spring Blog Hop

Welcome to leslierahye's Hippity Hoppity Steampunk Spring Blog Hop! I am leslierahye and in this hop we are celebrating Spring & Easter--Steampunk Style! I love Spring and all the holidays and am a huge fan of Steampunk. I have gathered together a group of awesome steampunk artists and am as excited to see their creations as I'm sure you are!!!  This is a one day hop. Below you will find links to everyone on the hop, you can start at the beginning and hop through in order. Be sure and check out all the stops as some have blog candy!!

For my project I altered some plastic eggs with old book papers and tissue paper. I then inked and misted the eggs to add a shimmer to each egg. I created band for each egg and a basket to put them in with Graphic 45 Collection Secret Garden. Watch parts were added for that steampunk flair!

Thank you for stopping by! Please enjoy the rest of the hop!

Operation Write Home's Bunny Hop Blog Hop

Welcome to the Operation Write Home's Bunny Hop Blog Hop! I am so honored to be part of this organization's wonderful hop! There are 135 stops in hop--if you came here from Kelly's You and your Big Dreams, you are in the right place. If you would like to start from the beginning, go here.

Operation Write Home is an amazing organization and helps connect soldiers with home in many ways. One of my favorite ways to connect is by using the printables for young people to color and to write letters and notes to the soldiers abroad. Here you can download and print off writing color pages that children [or adults] can write letters of appreciation to their soldier heroes. I use these mainly with the cubscouts in our Pack. The boys love coloring the images and writing letters to their heroes.

Below I have made 2 spring themed cards! I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed making them!
