Fantabulous Cricut: Challenge Me Monday #101 - Luck of the Irish

Happy Monday! So crazy it's already March, isn't it?  The holiday most people associate with March is St. Patrick's Day -- and I especially like that day because it's my birthday!  Because of my connection to March 17th, I'm excited about this week's Luck of the Irish challenge at Fantabulous Cricut.

Our sponsor this week is Jaded Blossom Stamps, and I got to play with their cute Luck of the Irish stamp set:

I made a shamrock easel card to celebrate the little bit of Irish in all of us this time of year:

 I used Jaded Blossom Stamps for the sentiment and the small shamrock stamp to adorn the message area:

Project Details:

• Card Base - Easel (5x5")
• Papers - cardstock by Bazzil; patterned paper by K&Company

One other item of note...St. Patrick's Day is my one-year anniversary of papercrafting with the Cricut!  What a truly awesome birthday present -- the gift that has kept on giving me tons of creative crafting therapy!
