Kiss me!

Pin It

It’s March and St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner.  If you have been reading my blog for a while, you probably noticed that I LOVE Irish music and culture so I really enjoy this time of year.   I  instantly fell in love with this sweet little duck, Lucky Duck, as soon as I saw him.   He shows that on St. Patrick’s Day, we all can be a little Irish.

Just in case you haven’t seen the new releases for March on the Meljen’s Designs blog, I’ll share a peek with you.   Melissa released 7 new digital stamps and 6 pre-colored digis.   (If you haven’t used pre-colored digis, you might want to check out the awesome blog post by fellow DT member Nicole HERE.)

 

 

 

There are other new events over at the Meljen’s Designs blog beginning this month.  Now the DT is going to take turns posting on the blog.  You can expect to see posts about their favorite Meljen’s images, their creative process, photos of their crafting spaces and even tutorials.   (Did you see my tutorial on faux brads yesterday?)

 

Oh, before I go, the new challenge this week is a sketch challenge.   Check out the sketch and the DT’s creations on the Meljen’s Designs blog.  Don’t forget to link up your creation using the sketch for your chance to win some Meljen’s Designs digis.  

 

Don’t forget to check out my March Followers Blog Candy.  Click HERE for more info.

 

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you have a wonderful day!
