Happy St. Paddy's Day

Well, I have been having a very busy time creating my promised St. Patrick's Day projects.  Wish I could say that the card designs are my own, but, I am not that creative and use inspiration from the blogs that I follow.  To the best of my ability, I will give credit where credit is due.  The banner that I made is my own design.  It was very hard to photograph, so, does not show up as well as I would like.

Everything was designed in my Silhouette Software and all cuts were made with my Cameo.  I am so very thrilled with this machine.  Don't know how I could ever get along without it and the Silhouette Store.  This WILL be coming with us when we start our RV trips this Spring--cannot be soon enough for me.

My Own Design and all cuts from Silhouette Store



The images on the cards are all digital, except for the Little Girl that is Erin from Ireland from Your Next Stamp.  My digis were all uploaded to the Cameo and offset so that they could be cut out on the Cameo.  (Print & Cut feature used.)  Love it.

I took my first trip last week to Stampin and Scrappin which is a local store about an hour and a half away from me.  Kathy had some of the most beautiful papers and helped me to select all of the papers that I used.  Lots from BasicGrey and BoBunny and some lovely 8.5 x 11 papers that I do not know the vendor of.  Kathy is wonderful and the service was fabulous.  So much nicer than the big box stores.

I colored all my images with my Copic Markers and just had so much fun making these cards.

I will now start on my Easter cards and have decided to use card sketches from sketchsupport.com and design all else on my own.  I put the sketches into my Cameo library and then can just pick the one that I want to use.  Let's get those creative juices flowing.

Time to go now and start on Easter.  Happy crafting to all.
