Hi All,
I’m slowing down a little in my posts… so apologies in advance! I can’t keep up the frantic pace I had the last few weeks with all the blog hops etc. I have to focus for the next week on some home/work/app stuff, and getting my birthday thank you cards completed…. So I probably will be a little light on the posts for the next week or so….
But I do have a few cards that have been on facebook but not on the blog, so for those of you who haven’t been to the facebook page, this will be a new card for you! If you’re not a fan on facebook, check out the page here: http://www.facebook.com/CraftyCardGallery
Here’s a card I made for a guy friend who’s an accountant (like me) and who loves money (me too). This was my first pop up card… He really liked it!
Have a great week! Hopefully I’ll get my thank you cards done this week so I can post them for you & hopefully I’ll have some time this weekend to craft!
Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to St. Paddy’s Day Blog Hop 3/17 @ 11:30pm to 3/19 @ 12:00am Eastern ST! I was invited to be in this hop by my friend Dee. This is my second St. Patricks hop and my 2nd St. Patricks day card ever….
If you’re following along, you should have come here from faith http://faithfulecreations.wordpress.com/. If you were just visiting my blog, be sure to grab your favorite drink & settle in the hop!
If this is your first stop, you’ll want to go back to denise http://deesdesignsfrommyheart.blogspot.com/ to start at the beginning…
Since I don’t typically do St. Patricks Day cards, I don’t really have any supplies (except lots of green paper). I was thinking of pots of gold (can you tell I’m an accountant???)… and wanted to put coins on the card… so it needed to be an easel card.
This is my first easel card – I found instructions here:
So I went to JoAnn & found the pot of gold and the coins as part of their St.Patricks stuff (not part of scrapbooking)… So I cut the stick off the pot of gold, and made my own rainbow with my copics (remembering ROYGBIV). I had cloud paper so I cut out one cloud & inked the edges. I then put some green butterfly paper & the coins on the bottom of the easel. I stamped Celebrate since I don’t have any St. Patricks day stamps…
And of course I have candy…

Hi,
Welcome to the Lucky Leprechaun St. Patrick’s Day Blog Hop on Thursday 3/17 12am to 12pm hosted by my friend Nicolette….
If you just happened to come across my blog, please go to http://www.beyondscrapin.blogspot.com/ to start at the beginning. You should have come to my blog from Erin at http://www.spantastikreations.blogspot.com/
So sit down and hop along with us…
This is my first St. Patricks Day card, ever, I think… I had fun with it though…
This is a 6″by 6″ card. I used holographic paper (I’ve had it for a long time, I think I bought it at a toy store), and metallic paper for the scallop shape. I used celebrate with flourish for the luck of the irish sentiment & shamrocks. I did pen stitching with my white gel signo pen and added some bling. There is also some green twine at the top.
I have some blog candy:

Hi!
Welcome to the It’s my Birthday Blog hop! In honor of my 38th birthday… What better way to celebrate than a blog hop??
Today is my actual birthday & it’s been very special with everyone’s happy wishes!
This is the last card for the hop…
There are 38 other bloggers participating in this hop and they’re all very talented – so you’re in for a treat…. I’ve been impressed with all the great cards so far, and I know several bloggers have posted new cards..
www.craftycardgallery.blogspot.com is the first blog in the hop, so you’ve started in the right place! If you were just here visiting, be sure to hop along & see all the great posts… Can’t wait to get my Venti Iced Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte & start hopping!
So this is my 6th card – and it’s not a birthday card…
Birthdays always mean thank you cards & I’d like to thank all of you for visiting my blog & commenting (I love to read the comments) and for your participation with the app, and on the facebook page! I’ve had a blast with this and in meeting all of you (virtually)…
So thanks to all of you!
So, the story behind this card is I had pre-cut the shapes & words & taken them to Las Vegas with me. On the way back home on the plane, I started assembling (and coloring)… So I was sitting with a non-crafting co-worker…. and showed her how to put it all together. First, I just showed her the card with 3 dots on each of the letters. She liked it… then I added the gems & the dots… She really liked it…
Then I did the other one with dashes, and used pop dots to give it dimension. She liked that much better….. What do you think?
So all of the patterned paper is from the citrus stack, and the solid paper is just paper I had. I can’t remember what cartridge the sentiment & shape came from…
I hope you liked the card…
Of course, I have blog candy!!! It’s a birthday celebration – there has to be candy!!!
I am also celebrating a couple of milestones this weekend!!!
and I got to 400 followers on my blog!!!
These were my goals to get to by my birthday so I’m very happy!!!

So this is my 5th card;
I have a lot of March Birthday’s at work, and as you know, man cards are so difficult!!!
So all of the patterned paper is from the rustic dcwv stack, and the solid paper is just paper I had. The images on front are just from two different sticker packs (one I got in the bins at JoAnns and the other I just had a few pieces left over). The happy birthday sticker I just had… This was a super easy card & I really like how it turned out!!!
I hope you liked the card…
