I am happy to host the March challenge for the Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers-29 (SBS29). I decided to pick a theme for the challenge. The theme is "Think Green". You can interpret it as you wish (green paper, St. Patrick's Day, recycling, or what ever else). The challenge will run from today through March 20th. I will announce the randomly drawn winner on Sunday, March 21st. I have some crafting goodies to send to the winner.
Although this challenge is specifically for SBS29, others may also enter.
Please use Mr.Linky to submit your entry by Saturday, March 20th.
I am part Irish and love the Irish culture, especially the music. Some of my ancestors migrated to the United States from County Limerick, Ireland in the late 1830's. Red hair ran in my mother's family (including her) but I ended up blond. My husband and I spent part of our honeymoon in Dublin. So, given all that and the fact that St. Patrick's day is coming up, I made this card.
It originally started out as a shamrock shaped card but I just couldn't make it work this evening and I wanted to get the challenge posted for my sisters. My husband was strongly lobbying for the sentiment to say "pog mo thoin" but I went for the safer option.
Have fun!

Oh what a cutie.... and what a great card. I love the deep, dark color cardstock and the bright white. it really sets off the digi and ... I dunno, just pulls my eye. (Love white space, lo)
How many comments can one person leave on this blog? I'm up to three and make no promises to stop. But I'll try. I made the card, finally.
Humm, methinks that leprachaun has mischief up his sleeve. There's a certain glint in his eye!
Very cute card and definitely works for the Lucky Me challenge. So happy you could have some fun with Pile it On this week.
