Kiss Me! I'm Irish

This card is for my grandson who just turned 4. Several years ago I picked up some St. Patrick's Day pins  and thought he could wear this pin to pre-school.  The cute little frog is from Stampendous and I thought it tied with kissing a frog and green and kiss me, I'm Irish...I'm sure it will be lost on a four year old!  Oh well, I enjoyed it!

I've been using little 'treat cups' for his cards recently so I thought I'd better improvise and send him a little treat with his card. I wrapped a little mint in cardstock and stamped some green stars on it and added another score at the 1/4 inch mark to allow for the extra depth. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts Operation Write Home set.

More quick and easy sketch results...

Told you I got carried away with this sketch (see previous post). 

I found these adorable little penguin stickers for 1/2 price and couldn't resist...I don't have any little ones to send cards to but I figured Operation Write Home could use some. 

The snowflakes and sentiments are from Skipping Stones Design 'Brrthday'.

This was last week's sketch #92...be sure to check out this week's sketch #93 at OWH Stars & Stamps.

This card is for two challenges, well actually two and a half...Over at The Sweetest Thing they are having a 'Sweet Sunday Sketch #85 + Bonus', the bonus being to make a card to send to Operation Write Home  program, sending home made cards that our armed forces can use to send to their loved ones.  Operation Write Home site can give you more details about where to mail, what size, any restrictions (like no glitter)...definitely a worthy cause.  Here's the sketch for this week:

The second is a color challenge for Curtain Call: Act 47 to use Crumb Cake, Always Artichoke, Expresso, Whisper White.  You can find the challenge here.  All of my paper is from Stampin' Up, the stamps are from Skipping Stones Design Dandelion Dreams, to check out more of their amazing sets, visit Skipping Stones Design-Store
