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! ;)

 

 

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 ;)

Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think....good or bad....or even better - what would you have done differently??...crafty minds wanna know!
