Lucky horse shoes

It's just down right tough being me some days, lol!! My time management lately has been seriously lacking and in need of an overhaul but honestly, I'm just to darn lazy and tired to even think about it!! This post should have been written up last night (or even before) so that it could post first thing this morning. Yesterday I was soooo tired and felt lethargic and could hardly move after I got off work. Got to work this morning and had lots to do so couldn't get to my post right away like I'd hoped...sigh. What's a gal to do, right??

Are you ready for St. Patty's Day?? I thought I'd show this quick and easy card that I came up with. 

I started off by pulling out some white cardstock and made my own patterned paper using images from the Lucky Irish and the Southwest petit four stamp sets. I "google images" a horse shoe to use as a template and cut it out. I adhered all my layers together and after tying some twine onto my horse shoe added it then blinged it out a bit. I made the little sentiment panel and popped it up using foam tape. I thought it needed an anchor to I punched 3 hearts and cut a little sliver of paper to make the clover. Easy peasy, right?? 

Happy St. Partick's Day

Lucky Horseshoes

I was playing around with my stamps and was struck with a fun idea. I wanted to make a lucky horseshoe card, however, I can't draw AT ALL so how the heck was I going to pull that off? After a little thinking I cam up with a VERY easy solution!  DUH...Google Images! Now I didn't want realistic horseshoes, I wanted something I could stamp, so I typed in "horseshoe + color book" and there you have it, tons of pictures to choose from. I chose a simple image and saved it to my computer in the my pictures file and then printed it off onto cardstock in the size I wanted. A little fussy cutting later and this is what I have....

 

Now, I really like this, but at the same time thought that maybe it was a tad "busy". With that in mind, I reprinted my image onto DeNami's charcoal cardstock and came up with this....

 

That's it for me today. Be sure to stop by the DeNami blog Sunday to start off the Birthday Bonanza blog hop! I'll be here with not 1, but 2 cards to celebrate! Hey, it's a bonanza after all! ;)

 

 

Large Irish Chickie

Ohh my goodness, I was soooo happy to have an excuse to FINALLY pull out this large Chickie and dress him up in his new clothing!! He's cute enough to be on the cover of GQ ;)

I played around quite a bit with a layout for him, not so sure I'm 100% happy with this one, but it's kinda cute and lets him be my main focal point. I can't wait to play with this Chickie and all the fun accessories again soon! Notice that gingham background peeking out yet again...I told ya, I just can't get enough of that fab stamp!! ;)

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!



Shamrock Chickie

I hope you enjoyed Monday's haul video. Better late than never, right? I still can't believe that I had forgotten all about it!! This past weekend I made another haul video and a start to finish Easter card video. Going to get them edited and I promise to not forget to post them! ;)

I just love this little shamrock chickie and was so excited about getting to pull him out once again! I paired him with one of the brand new backgrounds....

 

 He's just so cute and I can't get enough of that gingham background stamp either, I've gotten to the point where I quit putting it away, lol! It has prime position on my desk at the moment :)

Thanks for stopping by!

At the end of the rainbow...

Can you believe February is almost over? Where is 2013 going, time is flying by me at 100 miles an hour lately and I wish it would slow down so I could take a breath! WOW!

Here at DeNami Addict I'm gearing up for St. Patrick's day and Easter. I had so much fun making St. Patty cards and can't wait to share them with you :)

I finally got a chance to pull out my new images from DeNami and play. How could I resist this cute little chickie scene? I added crystal lacquer to the rainbow then sprinkled in just a little bit of extra fine glitter on it for a touch of sparkle. For the back ground I used a couple of stamps from 2 petite four sets; Garden Accents and Lucky Irish stamp sets.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy St. Particks day...

Once again it's the time of year that it's okay to pull something green out of the fridge and eat it, lol! Hmmm, still not quite sure I'm up for that challenge, lol. ;) 

Believe it or not, I've had that border punch for some time and NEVER used it. It's the ole' story each and everyone of us unfortunately knows...Joann's had a sale, this caught my eye, blah blah blah. In my defense I have tried to use it...honest...but it all turned out so horribly wrong, lol. Well, I have finally made something I'm happy with....my random impulse purchase is FINALLY justified ;)  WOO-HOO!!

Hope ya'll have a safe and happy St. Patricks day!!!

What happened to the rabbit?!?!?!?

It's officially that time of the year...when we all turn a little Irish ;)  I've already shown one of my St. Patty's day cards last week. I know it was a little early but I couldn't resist!! I have several more made and will be sprinkling them in here and there. Hope you enjoy them.

Even though I had the chickie wearing the little leprechaun hat, I couldn't resist having a chickie popping out of a hat...

Even chickies love St. Patty's Day

I have been trying to use my large chickie more and came up with a great idea...why can't he be holding a St. Patty's hat? I just love it!

I think he/she needs a full line on clothing...hint hint ;)

Hats off to wearin o'the green

I decided to do a little organizing the other day and came across the template of a leprechaun hat I had made for last St. Patrick's Day. I forgot I even had this...jeeze. This new rendition is sooooo much cuter because I now have a cute chickie to add to it! This time around I used a strip of stamped charcoal paper for the band instead of ribbon. And for the large shamrock I used the small heart outline that I fussy cut, distressed and added a little stem.

Thinking its about time for some green beer....hehe

Or maybe just some green Chickies....Its that time of year again to start working on St. Patty's Day cards and since the Denami blog is doing it....well this little blog should too!




A little closer....
