Crafty Gals March Challenge ~ Not Luck.......... Blessings Card


It is the 5th of the month, so I am back with the fourth Challenge of the Crafty Gals!  We are a group of bloggers who have monthly challenges, caring comments & fun chit chat on SCS—our favorite stamping site to visit.

This month, the challenge was posted by Melina, who also organized this blog group.  Here are the details:

"NOT LUCK......BLESSINGS!"  Okay, so this month we celebrate St. Patty's Day. Well, some of us do. I never have gotten into it that much even though I have some Irish blood in me. I guess my thing is I don't believe in luck. I believe in blessings. So, I love saying "Have a blessed day" when I'm out and about on St. Patty's Day! LOL!  So, my challenge for you is to create a project whatever you'd like, a card, scrap page, 3D item, etc....using these things:

1. 2 different shades of green.
2. Make the sentiment a "blessings" or "thankfulness" theme.
3. A Nature element somewhere on your creation. Examples: plant, sun, flower, grass, etc image and/or use patterned paper with plants, grass etc.....Any Natural element you can think of on your project.
I want you to really go "green" on this challenge!


Green is one of my favorite colors to work with and I got this stamp last November at a stamp show  in Madison that I attended.  I did a make and take in the Seaside Stampin Ink booth and the owner mentioned he had not sold one item yet—and we were about an hour into the show.  I felt bad, so I “needed” to make a purchase……………  The embossing folder I used was also a purchase that night from a company I had not heard of before-Lifestyle Crafts
