Happy St. Patrick's Day! Creative Memories Virtual Crop

Got all four sketches for Creative Memories Virtual Crop completed this past weekend.  I couldn't resist using a beautiful shamrock svg from SVG Cuttable Designs.  I originally planned to center the shamrock, so made a "matching" background to appear transparent.  However, the photos covered the shamrock, so I offset it...thus, the gingham background really doesn't match.  Oh, well....looks better than my original design plan.

Then it was just a matter of adding the journaling border and some stickers from my stash.

A Little Luck

St. Patrick's Day always means another fun layout.

Added a few shamrocks and called it done!

St. Patrick's Day with Lucky Background

This card is very quick and easy to make, once the shamrocks have been cut, that is.  Just lots of layers for today's Paper Ala Mode Challenge at The Outlawz. 

Spring Brilliance St. Patrick's Day Greetings

How is your day going?  Have you finished your St.Patrick's Day Cards yet?  If not....the Spring Brilliance digital papers from We Are 3 provide the perfect background...I've used Shredded Grass for my background.  That - along with some Table Scraps - made for a quick card.

St. Patrick's Day

How is your weekend going?  Are you creating anything beautiful this weekend?  I'm playing with Table Scraps and made this St. Patrick's Day card.

Green Shamrock

Good Morning, All!

I have more St. Patrick's Day cards for you all.  

For today's cards, I wanted to use the Kiss Me Green Image from Fontaholics.  The colors and design of this image is perfect for St. Patrick's Day!  I though it would make fantastic St. Patrick's Day cards.  I added a sentiment from Lazy Daisy Designs - and on the second card, a doodle frame from Miss Kate Cuttables cut from patterned paper.  Other than that and some help from my eClips, the majority of the cards are made up of just patterned paper left over from my grandson's green scrapbook.

Enjoy!

Teach-Me Tuesday - Top of the Morning to You!

Good morning, 

I hope you are having a great week so far. Now, on to some scrappin'! Here is a card I made in about 15 minutes. 

First lesson - If I purchase a paper pack for a specific project, I try to keep all my scraps from that project together...storing them in one plastic 12 x 12 storage envelope That way, when I need a quick card, everything in that envelope is color coordinated - and I have fewer decisions to make. I used scraps from Heartfelt Creations Delicate Asters Collection. I've been working on St. Patrick Day cards for a couple weeks now - so cut a whole page of shamrock accents (freebie from Images by Heather) in different sizes on a piece of scrap green-patterned paper. So I already had some of those laying around.

I began with these scraps.

I began with a cream card base - 5-1/4" x 5-1/4". I used a deckle blade to cut three sides of the striped cardstock to be the card front - 5-1/2" x 5-1/2". The other scraps - I pretty much cut five rectangles. The only measuring I did was to mat a couple of the scrap rectangles. Just used whatever size rectangles I could get from the scraps I had left...starting to just glue them down wherever! I did decide I needed something to bring it all together - so added a green border matted with purple. 

I popped up the last couple pieces of scraps I selected - and added a couple of the Shamrock Accents.
