Hello ~ Hello
It's time again for the divas and darlings to get on with our monthly duel, and since it's March, our lovely hostesses Barb and Michelle decided to go with a a St. Patrick's Day theme! Perfect! My hostess was barb, and she sent a lovely package full of green goodies! Oh so many goodies, I had to check to see how many 4-leaf clovers I had collected :)
The image Barb chose is from Whipper Snapper designs, called "Irish Luck". He was a lot of fun to color! The patterned paper is from Shenanigans. I also used some green bakers twine, white ribbon (from my stash), foam stickers, and green pearls. I also added some green bling to the shamrock Mr. Lucky is holding. I also used the latest Sweet Sunday Sketch for this month's card, which you can see at the bottom of this blog post. :) It was perfect for this image!
The "bonus" challenge was to share some traditions related to St. Patrick's Day. Well March happens to be one of my favorite months in general, I love basketball and baseball, and March is when the NCAA Tournament occurs & baseball gets in full swing with spring training. It's also the month in which my sister and brother-in-law were married which was a very special day in my life. I've spent a couple of St. Patrick's days @ Spring Training. It's a wonderful time to head south for some warmer weather, except for 2012, where it's supposed to be close to 70 on Saturday. :)
I hope you enjoyed my post for today, Please check out the other Darling Diva's as well ~ to see what they have on their blog waiting for you:
Please start here, at Jeanette's blog for our friendly duel

LJ, your card is awesome! You did such a good job coloring that WS image - he is such fun, too. And your use of the sketch worked so well. I really like how you make the twine so visible by layering it on the white ribbon, that's a great touch!
Enjoy March (can't believe it's already half over)!
Woohoo...nothing like the greening up of the grass to celebrate St. Patty's Day! And, enjoy some spring training and March Madness!

So glad you liked the kit and enjoyed making your Green Irish Card!
Wonderful St. Patrick's Day card, LJ! The sketch you used is terrific and a great layout to showcase those amazing and gorgeous papers from the kit. Love the sparkle on your Leprecauns shamrock and the way you used those green dots on the corner of the image panel. Beautiful card!
Enjoyed your sharing of your March memories. Living in a state where Spring Training takes place I can relate. In fact, we're going to a Mariner game tomorrow. Also March is my husband's, brother's, two nephew's birthdays. So it's special to us.
Irish you fun watching NCAA basketball!
