St. Patricks Day cards and treats

I've been busy today, making some little goodies for St. Patricks Day. The little treats are perfect to glue-dot on some Hershey's GOLD wrapped nuggets! I like to give these out to the ladies at the bank, post office and with a tip to my waitress, etc. I call it 'Spreading Seeds of Kindness'!

I loved using the FRINGED SCISSORS for the grass!

I think I might just like those darn BLENDABILITIES...

Here's a fun card I did the other day. I'm including this card in each of my IN COLOR SHARE participants Monthly Share. I didn't think I was going to like the blendabilities, when I first tried them. I think the stamp I was using, "Blended Bloom", was a bit too complicated, and, I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. I LOVED being able to change the color of the pearls with the blendabilities, too! Contact me if you have any questions about this card.

Happy Fathers Day to my hubby!

Our boys are both grown, so, I like to do something special for hubby on Fathers Day. One of the boys NEVER fails to call and send a card, and, the other one, well, let's just say 'they are as different as night and day'! LOL I have been so anxious to make this for hubby, and, can't wait to give it to him. He is out metal detecting a new site with a buddy today. He will be ready for a 'cold one', when he gets home, so, he will get it then!

I used MM pretzels *that was a new one on me*, Pistachios, unshelled Sunflower Seeds, dry roasted peanuts, chocolate covered raisins, and MGD *Miller Genuine Draft*---LOL I think he will be surprised! And, I'm sure he will say his usual..."did you make that?" LOL All the papers and punches are Stampin' UP!, as well as the stamp sets. I've been on a kick of using his old Wrangler jeans, lately(And, I have a T.O.N of 'em)....just LOVE the look of that old, soft denim. If you have any questions, just shoot me an email!
Our own fathers have passed on, but, I will still say 'Happy Fathers Day' Dad!

Happy Flag Day!

'EYE' see you!

Here's a few cards I just made. One is for a dear friend that just had some eye surgery. I think she'll get a kick out of it! And, since I have a 'multiple' disorder, I HAD to make a couple more for my stash! Why is it, that it seems like I NEVER have the 'right' card on hand?!?! That just boggles my brain!

This is one of the new SINGLE STAMPs, called Spec-Tacular.

 

::IT CAN BE FOUND BY CLICKING HERE::

I had a little fun with the image. Can you see where I colored one set of glasses red, one set I added tiny rhinestones to, and one set I added CRYSTAL EFFECTS to make them look like they had 'real' lenses in them. Be sure to check out my webstore for any of the other supplies you might need to make this card. AND, don't forget! Until 3/22/2013 ONLY, when you order $50 in merchandise, you'll get ONE FREE SALE-A-BRATION item!!!

When you are shopping, if you see more stuff you GOTTA HAVE, consider joining my Stampin' Up! team for only $99, and, through SALE-A-BRATION, you can pick $156.50 worth of merchandise for your $99 'kit'....whatever YOU want/need! There are SO MANY benefits to being an SU Demo.
