Is it Monday already....???

......Why is it that the weekends always seem to fly by, yet the weekdays seem to drag on and on?   I had such a fun weekend and most of it was spent crafting and the best time was at the classes I took on Saturday at my LSS.   I totally enjoyed learning all kind of new and fun techniques and it was so much fun to meet Kerry.   Sunday flew by faster than ever, especially after losing an hour for Daylight Saving's Time.  Time sure flies when you are having FUN!!


     And speaking of fun, this morning I'm here to share a new challenge being hosted by StampFairy and delighted to invite you to join us.  StampFairy offers a new challenge every Monday.  The challenges are open to all, you simply need to include a StampFairy image to be eligible to WIN!!!

      Our fun new challenge this week can be found over at our Challenge Blog and this week we challenge to 'Show Us Your Green'.   You may create any type of challenge that you want, use any of the StampFairy Images, just be sure to include GREEN!!  You can find all the details along with some wonderful inspiration created by the Design Team over on the Challenge Blog. 

   For me, the first thing I always think of when I hear about Green in the month of March is -  St. Patrick's Day and that was the theme I used as inspiration for my card.   I picked out one of the new images from the 'Herb - St. Patrick's Day Collection' and was ready to begin.    I colored my Herb  image with my Copics and then cut a variety of nestabilities shapes in my Grand Calibur.  I picked out two middle layers and then embossed them in two different textures to give the card some extra dimension.   All of my papers for this card were from my scrap bin and even my sentiment was recycled from an old card, making my card also a "Green" card in that sense.  It was really fun to create and this will be my Mom's St. Patrick's Day card.  She is 100% Irish and always enjoys celebrating St. Patrick's Day!

    My very bright and happy St. Patrick's Day card is also being submitted to these fun new challenges:
