Purple Cows St. Patty's Blog Hop

Welcome to the Purple Cows St. Patty's blog hop.  Naturally, the theme for my hop stop is "lucky." Just today, DD asked me about the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button in Picasa.  Little does she know, that's exactly how I feel whenever I am doing photo editing in Picasa.

I finally broke out my new Cuttlebug to use on actual projects! I embossed the light green cardstock with a bubble embossing folder. Then I used my trusty Purple Cows designer blade and created the small scallops. I also inked the edges.  Partners products from Cosmo Cricket and Hambly on the card, not to mention my favorite SRM stickers!

The second card was made first. I wanted to try my new Swiss dots embossing folder so voila.  I also used Purple Cows designer blade to make the subtle edges. This one is going to the PTA spring auction.  I will probably group it with a few other holiday cards to auction as a set. 

That's it from me! I hope you enjoyed my two little cards. Have a moorrific day and your next stop is chez Elisa.
