WMS Blog Party - St. Pat's/Irish/Green Theme!

Hi stampers!   Today I'm participating in the WMS Blog Party (held the 17th of each month!)

This month's theme is St. Pat's, Irish, or just green!  I decorated a pretty green treat bag for my project today.

 I used one of Claire's free digital Images - this pretty shamrock nosegay!  I actually printed it on Graphix Rub Onz paper, colored it and created my own rub on to decorate my felt scallop Nestability Circle!  The fun thing about a digital image is that you can size it to what your needs are.

I layered the felt scallop circle to a New Leaf card stock circle and attached them to a white paper doily that I glued to the front of my sweet little bag.  The bag is 5.5" x 5" and I got it from Pouch Mart. The sentiment is from Compact Sentiments  (I LOVE this new sentiment set!) and I punched it with a 1 3/4" circle.  I tied a raffia bow (from Pouch Mart) around the handle and then tied the sentiment around the bow with a piece of Honey Dew twine from The Twinery

I found this lovely Oxalis plant at the supermarket - a perfect back drop for my little bag.  The leaves look like giant shamrocks and there are beautiful little white flower clusters!

And here are two quick St. Patrick's Day cards I made using  Irish Blessings, a square Nestability and a shamrock die from Memory Box

 Here's what I stamped on the inside of this one:

 and here's the 2nd one - using the negative of the die cut shamrocks (waste not want not!)

 and here's the inside of this one!  The 'happy' is from the set Celtic Heritage all the other stampings are from Irish Blessings.

I hope you are joining us this month for the WMS Blog Party today -  here are the details from Lynn:

THE OFFICIAL THEME IS ST. PATRICK'S DAY/IRISH/GREEN. The choice is yours because we realize that not everyone gets as excited about St. Patrick's Day as we do. So if shamrocks and Celtic designs aren't your thing, just make something green! Please feel free to play off the green suggestion…green could be a color scheme or using something recycled.  Just remember to use your Waltzingmouse Images.
