Christmas and St. Patrick's Day!

I know! Christmas and St. Patrick's day - what do they have in common! Nothing except I finished 2 things yesterday! One was my goal to do 10-15 Christmas cards each month so when I get to December I'm not stressed out!

I used Card Patterns #55, Bo Bunny paper (the santa), and Basic Grey Fruit Cake paper along with some buttons and ribbon I've had in my stash for quite some time to make some cards. These cards satisfied my committment to myself for February (I didn't do any in February) and little for March!




My next project is one I've worked on for a couple weeks now. I had had St. Pat day pictures taken (or I took them) every year for quite some time to make cards. I found this really cool board book and paper kit from Little Yellow Bicycle and decided to go through all those pictures and create sort of keepsake of st. pat pictures. I made 3 of these books ~ one for me, one for my daughter, and one for my son!





The little kit of paper is so cool because it is cut to the shape of the board book (each page is a little different shape). There are also extra pieces of paper so you can back your pictures and some little stickers to embellish with (like the Lucky Me on the cover). I added a few other things and it was done! I had most of it done a couple weeks ago but I needed some pictures from this year to complete it.





I'm looking forward to seeing if Little Yellow Bicycle will come out with some other really fun books like this!

I love these pics on the back cover ~ Shaina is so serious and Carl is clowing around!
