Day 6: Irish Eyes Are Smiling!



Good morning crafty friends and w
elcome to Day 6 of our Christmas Crafting Fun Showcase. We hope you have enjoyed the projects, inspiration and freebies so far! Today we're stepping away from Christmas and looking a couple of months into the future! Our theme today is . . .


The beginning of Spring, the Ides of March, St. Patrick's Day . . . all things we think of when we think of March.  Well our Design Team must have kissed the Blarney Stone, because today's projects are...
green, green, green!

Evelyn created these cute little bookmarks using the icon feature on

 A Child's Year Cricut cartridge.  Check out the details at her blog. DIRECT BLOG LINK









Celeste created this adorable little treasure using the Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge and today's FREE digi stamp file from PaperCraftingWorld.com.

Check out her blog for all the details. DIRECT BLOG LINK






Jen created her Irish Blessing sign using the Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up
cartridge.  Check out her blog for all the details. DIRECT BLOG LINK

Jen also made a mini-banner using the Cricut cartridges
Paper Doll Dress Up and "Just Because" Cards.




Yolie has been hard at work!  She created our third calendar installment using
THREE different PaperCraftingWorld.com cutting files -- Lucky 2 Have You title,
Q.T. Patootie Besty and Q.T. Patootie Girl Elves.  Check out all the amazing details
on her blog! DIRECT BLOG LINK

She also created this cute card using today's FREE digi stamp.
The baker's twine from one of our sponsors, The Twinery,
adds such a nice touch to her card.

Yolie's final contribution to our St. Patty's Day salute is this
adorable easel card featuring Kelly & Keegan --
a PaperCraftingWorld.com cutting file.


Melin made this treat box with folded Paper Roses.

Here is an inside shot of the box.
For details on how to make the flowers you can visit a video I made. Please excuse the crudeness of the video. It is MY first attempt at creating a video on  my own. While it is rough, I think you will get the idea :)


Melin created this card using one of the free vintage graphics downloads for today.
I used Quick Quotes Savvy Davvy Designer Paper, Some Rhinestone flowers from Kaiser Kraft and some Basic Ribbon.
