Howdy all! Okay, for the first time EVER I made a St. Patty's Day card! I actually bought the set Pinch Proof from the catty because I love that little leprechaun - teehee! And, I decided to use this set to do Jen del Muro's sketch from Saturday. I have always been a lurker on her blog - she is mad talented, but hey, I decided I could do the challenge so I did! I enjoy her blog because she has wonderful creations so if for some reason I am not the last person to find her blog, go and visit her, you will not be disappointed (but wait until you are done here - LOL!) So, this first one is for her sketch challenge. I really liked the sketch and I was happy with the end result! Yep, lot o' green, but that IS what it is all about right??!! Here is the recipe:Card Recipe
Paper - Garden Green card stock, Gable Green card stock
Stamp Sets - PinchProof
Inks - Garden Green Classic Stampin' Pad
Accessories - Mat Stack and Paper Piercer, Corner Ticket Punch, 1 3/8 Circle Punch, Scallop Circle, Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Jumbo Pewter Eyelets, Wild Wasabi Double Striped Grosgrain Ribbon
This next card is also made using the Pinch Proof stamp set and is basically the same color scheme except I added some Naturals White card stock. I love this little guy and will be sending this card to my son at the Naval Academy in his next care package. I rounded the corners on this card for a softer look and sponged and distressed each piece of card stock. I also cut out and popped up that bottom four leaf clover although it is kind of hard to see in this picture. IRL it looks pretty cute! Here is the recipe for this one:Card Recipe:
Paper - Garden Green card stock, Gable Green card stock, Naturals White card stock
Stamp Sets - Pinch Proof
Inks - Garden Green Classic Stampin' Pad
Accessories - Corner Rounder Punch, Paper Piercer, Key Tag Punch, Sponge, Gable Green brads, Wild Wasabi Double Stitched Ribbon, Stampin Dimensionals

My favorite type of clothing is pajamas! I love them - not gowns, pjs. I totally could wear them all day everyday if allowed - LOL! I probably have 20 pairs of all kinds of pjs and will sometimes take a day on the weekend (usually one where it is raining) when I know I don't have anywhere to be and nobody is coming over and I will stay in my pjs all day- or I shower and change right back into pjs! I have passed this trait to my daughter who has asked me on numerous occasions, "can I just stay in my jammies?" YIKES - I am breeding laziness, LOL!
Thanks for stopping by today!!

Your St. Pat's Day cards are just too cute! I am really intrigued by your personal facts - it really gives me a glimpse into your life - TFS!

LOVE the FUN ST. Pat's cards.....and Alex...you are not condoning laziness.....just INSPIRING reativity in your PJ's!!....actually MY MOST favorite thing to wear also...tho, I certainly dont have the quantity of sets that you do!...lol!
The St. Patty's (hehehe) card is adorable !!!! Great layout too..love how you pulled this card together !
I'm with you about jammies !! Doesn't matter if I'm only going to be home for a few minutes before going out again, I'll always run upstairs and put either my jammies or sweats on. I don't have lots of jammies (actually 2 pairs) but I wear them constantly...in fact the other day I couldn't figure out why I was so cold...until I looked down and saw that I had finally wore the crotch right out of my favourite jammies...it was a very very sad day :(
Fabulous Alex! I don't think I have ever made a St. Patty's Day card either...thanks for the inspiration!
Heck, we're a lazy lot in this house too! Great cards. I have never made a St. Patrick's Day card! I love them both. I'll go check out that blog!
Fabulous Alex!

Love your monochromatic card at the top! Very pretty! I don't know anyone who is Irish, so I haven't made St. Patrick's Day cards either, but you are an inspiration!
Did I just catch the word "crotch" out of the corner of my eye in someone's comment?!? I need a nap!
Have a great day!

my daughter(3) refuses to be in the house in anything but "loungewear" it's caught on so that we all come home and immediately change into jammies now!
