Hi everyone!
Today Jaydee has a fun color challenge for us at The Paper Players...right in time for St. Patty's day!
That's what I chose to make anyway!
I stamped the sentiment from Boreka and cut it out with MFT's pierced squares. I layered it with several other fun patterned squares, and added some tiny shamrocks from Taylored Expressions Little Bits.
St. Patricks Day is a special day for me, as it's the day my daughter was born!
She was my first, and back then, we were living in our home town, with lots of friends and family around. Everyone was SO excited, and giving me their ideas of when I would have the baby. My hubby's grandma kept telling me that I would have the baby on HER birthday, which was St. Patricks Day.
I have to say that it all made me nervous! I didn't want to disappoint anyone I guess...LOL.
But yes, that was the day she was born, the same as her great grandma. We slipped over to the hospital during the night...parking the car around the back, thinking no one would notice. But sure enough...it's a small town....I had 3 grandma's peeking into my room before I knew it.
I had fun thinking about that day as I made this card!

LOL, what a fun story! I know a couple of St Pat's babies too! I try to not give them green cards for their birthdays but somehow a little green always sneaks in there! Your card is fun and delightful!
What a fabulous card for St Patrick's Day Laurie - and such fond memories of your first born's birth too! I love the doodle font and pattern mix and all that green!
Beautiful card design and a wonderful story about the birth of your daughter. I loved both.
Love hearing your story about how special St. Patrick's day is for you and your daughter! Can't keep a secret in a small town, lol! This card is adorable--love the fun and whimsical feel of the papers and the font. Great shamrock dies too! Enjoy your daughter's birthday!!
Fun to hear your story, Laurie! Festive & beautifully crafted!
Super cute card, Laurie! Love the patterned papers and the shamrocks, those dies are going right on my wish list. What a sweet story about the day your daughter was born, too!
Laurie, I love the multiple DSPs - you brought them together fabulously and, of course, you would have some awesome shamrock dies and I am in love with that font - it just seems perfect for St Patty's. Fabulous card. thanks for rocking my challenge this week, my friend
