Queen and Co Pearls Grass Green 3 Medium

Mounting Tape

The shamrock is single mounted. I really like the embossing in the background. I hope you like it.

We are having our traditional St Patrick's Day dinner tonight...corned beef, cabbage and potatoes...yum. And after dinner we will have an Irish Coffee. I made truffles for dessert.

The ones with the squiggle lines are milk chocolate and the ones with the shamrocks are dark chocolate. (They are actually made with chopped Oreo mint cookies and cream cheese that are rolled into a ball and dipped in chocolate). I am also going to make some peanut butter cookies with a Claddagh imprint. Hope they turn out. 

Better get going...oh, and I am going to enter this into a challenge...Cupcake Inspirations. This is the inspiration:

Simple Shamrocks

I apologize that I haven't been around lately. I was working on a couple of other projects, went over to a friend's house to help her with some baking (maybe another post on that soon), had the taxes done and finally received my new appliances. It had been almost 3 weeks without a refrigerator in the kitchen! (I had one in the garage, thank goodness.)  So not a lot of time for extra crafting.

I was able to make a few shamrocks for a floral arrangement that I had made awhile ago.

I also added some green lights:

Materials (for the shamrocks)

Cardstock: Green
Cricut Cartridge Paper Doll Dress Up Leprechaun (Shamrock) page 40 ( Shift Accessories 3)
Green Glitter Glue
Wire

I made six shamrocks. I glued a wire to three of them then glued the other three shamrocks on top of  them (lining them up). I then added some glitter glue to each side, let dry and then stuck them in the arrangement.

I'm hoping to be able to make a few cards soon. (Although I really need to clean up my crafting space....oh, what a mess that is!)

Thanks for stopping by...leave a comment (I love the feedback)...imagine what you could do........
