Welcome to the March Waltzingmouse Blog Party. Every 17th Waltzingmouse Stamps sponsors a blog party with a different theme. This month we are celebrating St. Patrick's Day/Irish/Green. What else right? I am not Irish, but I will use any excuse to celebrate. St. Patrick's Day is no exception - you can count me in for corned beef and cabbage and don't forget the green beer - well beer in green bottles ok? Besides the good food I got to thinking of all the different Irish sayings and prayers I've heard over the years. So with tongue in cheek I decided to come up with my own blessing/prayer just for us stampers. I hope it makes you smile!! 
I stamped the background paper by using the X pattern from Oval Classic Frames, and made the clover with the small heart from Sweethearts. To line everything up nice and even I drew lines with pencil, matched these marks with the lines on my acrylic block, stamped and then erased the pencil. Here's a photo with a sample of my plan.I used a emerald grosgrain ribbon and topped that with a bit of gold ribbon (think pot of gold) and topped it off with a little shamrock charm.
I hope it tickles (as Claire would say!) Thanks for having a peek and keep on dancing!
