Happy St. Patrick's Day! 

I love being able to celebrate my Irish heritage and St. Paddy's day brings out the green in my blood.  I've got my nails all decked out and I'm preparing a dinner of corned beef and cabbage tonight.

I also plan on having these little goodies on the table for the kids tonight, and maybe hubby too as he's the biggest kid of all! 

 
Aren't they cute.  Thanks to Allison Okamitsu for the idea. 

The tags are created using MDS (My Digital Studio).  You can print them out at home and voilà, a cute tag topper.  If you want to make it a little fancier, cut the tag out using the Labels Collection Framelits for the Big Shot.

For some more St. Patrick's day décor ideas, check out these digital downloads for MDS:

Happy Watercolor

I made this card yesterday using the Happy Watercolor stamp set from the Occasions catalog.  I think this set might be a new favourite.  Yes, I know, I say that a lot.

How about, it's my new favourite until something else becomes my new favourite?

The card was inspired by Rachel Tessman's example. 

I think it's a perfect card for today since the sun makes me happy after yesterday's blizzard.

What or who makes you happy?

Eggstra Spectacular

Easter is just around the corner and I've begun thinking of cute ideas to make in my clubs and with my kids.  Pinterest has become one of my favourite places to look for inspiration.  I found this picture and I know that these are definitely going to be made with my kids.

Until I actually set out to make these, I'm going to guess that the supplies used are the 2 1/2" Circle Punch, Sweet Treat cups, Whisper White cardstock and the Large Oval Punch.  A few white mini pom-poms, which you can pick up at your local Dollar store or craft store; and some pastel candies (m&m's in this case), complete the ensemble.

In the meanwhile, I did come up with this cute card for card club not too long ago.  The card features Eggstra Spectacular from the Occasions Catalog.  This adorable little set can be used in so many ways.  I can't wait to play with it some more.  I'm thinking an easter egg tree using the egg stamp might be cute.  Check back for my blog post on that creation!

The cardstock used is Sahara Sand and Coastal Cabana.  The patterned paper is from our Eastern Elegance DSP pack.
