It is the 15th of the month and that means
another Dueling Darlings challenge. This
month, I am the hostess for the Divas and Michelle is the hostess for the
Dazzlers. We decided the theme is “St.
Patrick’s Day”, to be celebrated in two days.
And in addition to creating the card, we requested that each
person tell if they have a tradition relating to St. Patrick’s Day? Do they crave a type of Irish food? Do they prepare something special or go out
to a certain place to eat that day. Are
there any special memories of that holiday from the past that they want to
share?
I am not Irish-I am100% German as both of my parents were
born in Germany and met in Chicago in the 20’s.
But, I do love Irish Stew! There is
a small restaurant near us that has a great stew on St. Patty’s Day, but we are
not going to be around this year as we are heading to Chicago to the Flower and
Garden Show at Navy Pier. I am sure we
will see lots of “green” that day!
Here is the inside of my card:
Image/Sentiment—Whipper Snapper--Irish Luck and Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Paper—Gina K White; Stampin’ Up Handsome Hunter, Garden Green; Reminisce-Lucky Me--Lucky Stripe and Micro clover, Shenanigans DSP
Ink—Memento Tuxedo Black; Stampin’ Up Garden Green
Accessories—Copics; Circle and Photo Corner Punches; Green Twine; Green Crystal Rhinestones; Shamrock and Leprechaun Shoe Brads;
Please be sure to stop in to see what all of the Divas as well the Dazzlers have created this month. All of the blogs are on the left sidebar of my blog. I am sure you will enjoy all of the Green Creations!

ReplyDeleteI am so envious that you will be in Chicago on SPD. How much fun would that be?! Rush Street would be a blast. I would have to stop by Mother's!!! I bet you cannot even get near the place on SPD.
I am German too! I am a quarter from my mother's side. She is half German and Russian. My dad is half Irish and Norwegian. It is safe to say that there are no members of our entire family that we know of, that do not have blue eyes!
I am going to have to get my O'Toole (maiden name) on this Saturday!
Thanks again!
