Ah, Éirinn Go Brágh! That's "Ireland Forever" in the language of leprechauns and Guinness lovers. I spent the morning crocheting a little "seamróg" (shamrock) garland in five shades of 'green'. Why? Because the grand month of Irishness is upon us, and if you're not decked out in green, are you even Irish ...celebrating?
Speaking of celebrations, let me introduce you to the "Shamrock n Roll" digital stamp from Power Poppy. I colored it with Promarkers, mounted it with foam pads for that extra oomph, and went to town with Ranger Glossy Accents and flatback gems. To add a bit of texture, I grabbed my trusty scoreboard and etched some lines into the card. The result? A card that's so Irish, it practically sings "Danny Boy" when you open it.

But, of course, crafts project needs a funny note to end on. So here's a classic Irish joke for you:
Why don't you iron four-leaf clovers?
Because you don’t want to press your luck!
The joke is cute!! :) I've not heard of Power of Poppy. Going to look that one up because that clover bundle is terrific! You've got a great CAS style card too! Appreciate the link-up for the February option event of SPD at HQCOLCB!! Also it's great to hear that you've started decorating! I need to get more door sign changed with a SPD one, too! -- Becca
