Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I'm missing my Irish man...
Anyways, here's a quick post.  The Irish children in the house we're so happy but they actually enjoyed more the chocolate that comes with this.  This is a side step card, which I cut using my Silhouette cameo.  Yeah, no more hassle on measurement and scoreboard, just hit the button "Cut"!

May your day be touched
by a bit of Irish luck,
brightened by a song in your heart,
and warmed by the smiles
of the people you love.

 These images were released during 2013 Winter CHA and when I saw it, told myself, I have to have that Marci and Luca stamps.  I had fun coloring these images,

 Closed-up shot of Luca.  I run out of battery so I wasn't able to take pic of Marci.

 Stamp images from my fave La La Land Crafts combined with some diecuts from Silhouette, awesome project as a result!

When my daughter had seen the first card I made using La La Land "Ice Skating Marci" stamp, she wanted to send the card to her Grandma and Grandpa. Then, my son asked, "What about me?". That is why I cam up with a second card using La La Land "Sunny Christmas Luka". He was the one who picked the stamps.  He picked that image because it reminds of his everyday home clothes "tank top and shorts.

Again, I am entering this post again for 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog #63 - Anything Goes.

Glad I'm finally been able to incorporate diecutting and stamping on my cards and other papercrafting projects...  I'm also happy that tools I bought and haven't been using for so long (like stickles and misting sprays) are finally being used.  I guess its a the good thing not having so much crafting supplies in your room at one time... Or should I say that it helps to know you have these tools when they're right next to you...
