I could use a little
Irish luck this year. What I've gotten so far is a bunch of
malarkey!! I'm tellin' ya when it rains it pours. Now I realize how blessed I am..... I have wonderful children, grandchildren, friends and family. I have a roof over my head and Lord knows I don't miss many meals HOWEVER I could use just a wee bit of a break from the continuous breakdown of household items and the continous flow of cash OUT of my bank account. I need money to buy scrapbooking supplies!
NOT repairs and bills haha. Last Saturday we found out we have to pay Uncle Sam an INSANE amount of money. Now I don't know if I've mentioned what a tight wad my husband is but lets just say he still hasn't recovered. Oh well it's just money and as the saying goes... "You can't take it with you".
Today I am posting a card I made using a digital stamp called
Bagpipe Patrick, from
Sassy Cheryl's. You can look at all the fabulous stamps at this site
HERE.
I used a small rubber stamp and
Versamark in
"Champaingne" to create the small shamrock watermarks on the background paper. For the Large Shamrock cutout, I used my
Cricut. It was an image from
Paper Dolls Dressup cartridge. I cut it out of green cardstock and then sprayed it with
Glimmer Mist Lucky. I also used some Lettuce colored
Flock for the grass under his feet. I plan to give one of these cards to each of my kids along with some sugar cookies. WE WILL SEE if that happens. I just don't know if I can get it all done.
OH... I almost forgot. For those of you who like to check out
daily deals for scrapbooking supplies. I have found several that you may want to check out. These are my favorite
http://www.flowerstoflourishes.com/
https://cropchocolate.com/
http://peachycheap.com/
Flowers to Flourishes and Peachy cheap have great deals and usually I find that they are great even when shipping costs are added in. Crop Chocoate is a great site because even though they have smaller priced items, you can add them to your cart and hold them there until you build up a large amount and then ship it all at once. They even offer free shipping after a certain dollar amount. I have ordered from these sites on many occassions and have not been dissappointed.
Happy Friday.
