Shamrocks and Crowns

Thankfully I found some time to sneak away this past weekend and do some creating.  I've been crocheting Shamrocks (in various sizes) and was itching to use one.  I wasn't sure how it would turn out but I must admit I am pleased with the results.  I have some Irish background on my father's side of the family and since green is my favorite color ... well, the rest just came together.




As you can see, I spent some time playing with pink too.  Something "girly" to share ...




My Shamrock project includes gorgeous Striped Ribbon ... it comes in so many wonderful colors.  You can find assortments of buttons here.  I absolutely adore the Beau Chateau Designer Papers with the chicken wire, polka dots, and roosters ... what's not to love?!  I also included a mini clothespin in the bow - sweet as can be.  The links will take you to my Stampin' UP! website store - just in case you can't do without!

I am thankful for your visits ... enjoy the rest of your day!

    Sigh...I'm swooning over these Joanne! Love your shamrock, what a pretty card. And of course the pink prettiness with the sweet polka dots and chicken wire.

    Did you see the tiny crocheted (or maybe knitted?!) acorns at Tiny White Daisies? So cute, I think it was posted around the 20th.

    I am in love with that shamrock card; A mix of patterns and shades of green. You did a fabulous job. I love the "girlie" card too. Perfect in pink :) and gorgeous as usual. I really missed being here; and it's good to be back. Have a lovely day!

    I absolutely LOVE the pink card, since that is my favorite color. I love everything about it from the papers to the crown and frame embellishments to the gorgeous bow. Your Shamrock card is beautiful, too. The papers are beautiful, all of the embellishments are so beautifully tucked in and that crocheted shamrock! Wow! Fabulous! Thanks for sharing. I think I have to go make a pink card. Hehe.
