Happy St Patrick's Day - photos from Ireland

Hello from Ireland.

Happy St Patrick's Day.

Wishing you all a wonderful day - where ever you may be in the world.

I think everyone has a little bit of Irish in them! especially on St. Patrick's Day.

The day is celebrated here in Ireland with parades in every town and village around the country.

Just wanted to share a "taste of Ireland" in my post this morning.

Hope everyone has a great day / weekend.  It's Mother's Day here in Ireland tomorrow - a weekend of festivities!  Enjoy!

Paperplay - Shades of Green

 Supplies:  Digi and sentiment by Waltzing Mouse Stamps, gold textured cardstock by 

Papermania, black cardstock by Cranford, card blank by Anita's, 

copics, pop dots and pearls.

It's not my team's week for Paperplay but I decided to play along this week as I set the challenge - Shades of Green / Good Luck {St Patrick's Day}.  We are very kindly sponsored by Whiff of Joy - wish I could play! hee hee! 

I made this "Emerald Blessings" card as I just adore working with this wonderful digital freebie stamp by Claire Brennan of Waltzingmouse Stamps.  I decided to play around with the image placement at the end and I like how it turned out.
