Spring Has Sprung, Birthday Blog Hop

The grass is getting greener, the trees are budding, and the flowers are blooming! All signs that Spring has Sprung!
Welcome to the Spring has Sprung Birthday Blog Hop! If you arrived here from my super talented sister, Linda's blog, you are in the right place. If you just dropped in, please start at Robin's blog (http://scrapandchat.blogspot.com), our hostess and Birthday Girl! Be sure to leave a comment on each blog to be eligible for the Blog Candy that Robin is giving away for her Birthday!

This is the Blog Candy that Robin is giving away:

This candy includes the Holiday Warmth clear stamp set from Close To My Heart, bling snowflake, bling word Peace, bling word Jingle Bells and an additional "Birthday Surprise" To be eligible for Robin's Blog Candy you simply need to leave a comment on each blog in the hop.

I made a spring card - wishing for a really fun, fun, season.  After all, it's much too short to have it any other way.  I used my new Close to my Heart stamps and Art Philosophy cartridge.  By the way, did you know, that during the month of March, if you sign up to be a consultant for Close to My Heart - you get the Art Philosophy Package FREE!!!!  It's true!  You can take a look at my website - Yes, I DID sign up!  www.pattiross.ctmh.com If you already have the art philosophy cartridge, you can choose to get $100 credit instead!  Can you imagine how much fun stuff you can get for $100!!!! 

My Consultant Package came this week and my 4 year old grandest daughter has already been all through it, planning on what she can make with MY supplies!!!  You can bet I will be putting in an order soon - just to keep her in her own 'stuff'.  And, why not...as a consultant you get 22% off everything you order!

Simply Sunday Challenge at Getting Cricky

Good Morning and welcome to another Simply Sunday Challenge at Getting Cricky.  The Design Team has been asked to make projects in honor of St. Patrick's Day - Using Green, White and one other color.

I got a little carried away with my projects.  In fact, they don't resemble St. Patrick's Day at all....but I did follow the rules.  See what you think:

Using Green, White and in these cards - shades of pink.

Winged Things and Positive Thoughts Stamp Sets

Using Green, White and Red.

Valentines Stamp Sets

I really had a lot of fun making these cards - even if they are not the traditional "St. Patricks' Day" colors.  Hope you are inspired to link up your own Green and White Challenge Project!!!

Here are the stamp sets I used:



  Positive Thoughts

Winged Things

I Heart You Valentines Set

Thanks so much for taking a peek at my projects...please leave a comment and a way for me to visit you too!!!
