MARCH 14, 2012***WEDNESDAY*** SHOP PUMPKIN SPICE** JUST A NOTE

Good Morning Everyone,

 It is Design Day for me at  SHOP PUMPKIN SPICE.

I just love designing for Shop Pumpkin Spice.  I can not say enough good things about this company. Great quality and great value.  They carry the products I like most,   Echo Park paper is one of my favorites, but I have a lot of other favorites that in stock now and very popular.   Right now, I am on the "All about boys" kick. This paper is so cute, I like almost every piece in the pack. For my project today, I am using 6 different patterns from the pack and the blue solid. I used a cuttlebug embossing folder for the solid paper to give it some dimension.
My card base is a basic cream color and so is the little boy. I used the Paper doll dress up Cricut cartridge to cut out all the elements to make the image of the boy

My sentiment is from My Pink Stamper "Boy Crazy" stamp set. I'm using lemon drop twine from the Twinery

I punched three holes in the orange binder strip to give it the look of a notebook.

All the products I used can be purchased at Shop Pumpkin Spice.

Thanks for stopping by

Remember,  Boy Crazy is the kit of the month for March.  It is a remarkable price at $15.95
Also remember, you have until the end of the month to enter our Blog Hop challenge. There are some rules, so be sure to read them, so you do not miss out on any opportunities you might have to get extra entries.

Have a great Day!! DIANA L.

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I thought last night MPS live was a lot of fun, Courtney from  Court's craft corner was a special guest on the show. It was so fun to watch.  Her mother took her there as a birthday present. She just turned 14.   Robyn has a challenge up and running.

For my project I made it quick and simple all of my pattered paper is from bubblegum stripes cartridge(IC) the clover is from PDDU

My sentiment is the top half of Good Luck on your test from  the My Pink Stamper set "Lunch Box Thoughts" I used gold elegance ink.
I also used gold stickles on the clover and gold ribbon between the papers.

This card was made very simple.
I am also entering it in these challenges:
Crafty Creations:Stripes
Little scrap pieces: Luck of the Irish

Have a blessed Day, Diana

MARCH 8, 2012***THURSDAY*** THANKFUL THURSDAY CHALLENGE & ST. PATRICK's DAY CARD

 Good Evening Everyone,

I thought I would share some info with you- If you want to skip over it -Its in Green,-of course if you skip over it, you may miss what the challenge is all about

Mini History lesson on St. Patrick

Many folk ask the question 'Why is the Shamrock the National Flower of Ireland ?' The reason is that St. Patrick used it to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagans. Saint Patrick is believed to have been born in the late fourth century, and is often confused with Palladius, a bishop who was sent by Pope Celestine in 431 to be the first bishop to the Irish believers in Christ.

Saint Patrick is most known for driving the snakes from Ireland. It is true there are no snakes in Ireland, but there probably never have been - the island was separated from the rest of the continent at the end of the Ice Age. As in many old pagan religions, serpent symbols were common and often worshipped. Driving the snakes from Ireland was probably symbolic of putting an end to that pagan practice. While not the first to bring christianity to Ireland, it is Patrick who is said to have encountered the Druids at Tara and abolished their pagan rites. The story holds that he converted the warrior chiefs and princes, baptizing them and thousands of their subjects in the "Holy Wells" that still bear this name.

There are several accounts of Saint Patrick's death. One says that Patrick died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, on March 17, 460 A.D. His jawbone was preserved in a silver shrine and was often requested in times of childbirth, epileptic fits, and as a preservative against the "evil eye." Another account says that St. Patrick ended his days at Glastonbury, England and was buried there. The Chapel of St. Patrick still exists as part of Glastonbury Abbey. Today, many Catholic places of worship all around the world are named after St. Patrick, including cathedrals in New York and Dublin city

Why Saint Patrick's Day?
Saint Patrick's Day has come to be associated with everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck. Most importantly, to those who celebrate its intended meaning, St. Patrick's Day is a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.

So, why is it celebrated on March 17th? One theory is that that is the day that St. Patrick died. Since the holiday began in Ireland, it is believed that as the Irish spread out around the world, they took with them their history and celebrations. The biggest observance of all is, of course, in Ireland. With the exception of restaurants and pubs, almost all businesses close on March 17th. Being a religious holiday as well, many Irish attend mass, where March 17th is the traditional day for offering prayers for missionaries worldwide before the serious celebrating begins.

In American cities with a large Irish population, St. Patrick's Day is a very big deal. Big cities and small towns alike celebrate with parades, "wearing of the green," music and songs, Irish food and drink, and activities for kids such as crafts, coloring and games. Some communities even go so far as to dye rivers or streams green!

THE PRIZE:

The challenge: Pick one idea out of the history lesson to make a project refer to the sentence which depicts the element you chose and leave a comment.
Challenge runs until midnight March 24, 2012
Must be a new project from this date forward (march 8)

Have a blessed day, Diana

MARCH 8, 2012***THURSDAY*** DESIGN TEAM DAY & CHALLENGE AT CREATIVE CUTTER ROOM ***** A HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO YOU

Good Morning Friends,

Today is design team Day and all of us designers at Creative Cutter Room are sharing our projects with you. Last week we were all sent some materials that we were to use for today's post

This is what I was given to work with.
Thanks Cathie

 

and this is what I made.
 

In keeping with  the St. Patrick's day theme,  I chose elements to give the feel of  the special Irish Holiday

I have no idea what these papers are except that they were 6x6. The sentiment is printed from my computer, and I layered it on some black card stock.  I think it came out great from the elements that I chose.  Check out the rest of the teams work you can either go over to CCR or on my side bar to the right you will see the team, listed under Creative Cutter Room with links to each of my team mates blogs, or down below

MORE---- FRIDAY

I designed this card for -Flaunt it Fridays. The challenge is Bird in disguise, from 3 birds on parade, but if you don't have that cart., any bird will do, as long as it is in disguise.  I went with it!.  The baby bird is from straight from the nest cut at 3" 
same with the PPDU clothes,
the stamp is from Inkadinkadoo/ and chalk box ink
The ribbon is from M's
The blue paper is Core' dinations, it takes stamps beautifully. 
I wanted the image of the bird to be noticeable, but with the twist of the disguise not fitting well.
