Clover

Happy Monday! Heart day is over and it is time to move on to the next holiday. Now I know many people don't celebrate this particular holiday,  but being of Celtic origin and having many Irish and Celtic folk in my life St. Patrick's Day is a big deal. Hey!! isn't everyone Irish on St. Patrick's day anyway?

Today is a new challenge at Cupcake Inspirations! It is a crowd pleaser! Anything goes! Yep- whatever your little creative brain wants you get to do!! See those naked cupcakes they are waiting for your inspiration!

My card features "4 Leaf Clover" by Colorado Craft and the fun saying is from Taylored Expression. I am always on the lookout for St. Patrick stamps and craft supplies. They aren't the most common. Anyone have one's they love?

Time to get you inspired with "Whiskey in the Jar" by the Dubliner's.

Let the "anything goes" theme inspire you and share your creations with us at Cupcake Inspiration. You have two weeks to play along!

Raindrops

 Happy Heart Day everyone! I hope you are getting to spend the day just the was you want to. I came across a blogger that wrote how she spends her Valentin's day every year with a bag of Zesty cheese Doritos!! You go girl! I will be spending it with my sweetie George.

 

Today starts a new challenge at Inky Paws. A nice spring color challenge. Something to remind you that winter will be over at some point. Yellow, spring green, pink, and white.

 

 

 Since it Valentine's day, I did use the heart frame dies from Newton's Nook in my card design. I also used the petite flower stencil and the "Loads of Blooms" stamp set. 

Today's music inspiration is "Raindrops are Falling on my Head" by BJ Thomas. This song is dedicated to a good friend Anna Marie. She and I would sing this song to our pts. Don't ask why this song, it was one we could really harmonize to, I guess.
