Birthday Card~ St. Patty's Day Card~ and My Chickens :)

Hi Bloggers!!!

I have a few cards to share for a couple of different challenges along with a couple pictures of 

"The Girls" as we call them

Spring is in the air today.....it was a beautiful 63 degrees outside but very windy so nothing could really be done outside without being blown over.

I did manage to get a couple of projects done though...

I recently won a stamp set over at Paper Smooches~ this adorable Party Pals stamp

and I was dying to ink it up.

I made this birthday card!

The stamp and sentiment are both from Paper Smooches

Designer Paper is from Simple Stories (?)

Cardstock is all PTI

I colored the image with my copics and added some Twinery Twine in Maraschino.

The edges were all distressed using my Tim Holtz distresser

I am entering this card into:

Birthday Sundaes~ Birthday card w/ Sentiment

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My next card and gift bag are using the super adorable file Lucky Me and 4 Leaf Clover Shaped Card  from 

The Cutting Cafe

Now I posted my DT project yesterday and if you missed that you can check it out here

but I loved these files so much I wanted to play with them some more

So my card uses the 4 Leaf Clover Shaped Card file

Instead of using the shaped card I cut all the layers and just used the front of the card for this.

I added 

My Creative Time~ Scalloped and Stitched Circle Die to the center along with the Tiny Tag Die in which I put my dollar bin stamped sentiment

I tied it all together with Trendy Twine in Twisted Lime

and added some Diamond Stickles for some Bling :)

I am entering my card into the following Challenges:

Pumpkin Spice~Button, Twine and a Circle

Twine it Up! w/Trendy Twine~ March Challenge

Little Scrap Pieces~ Use a Button and a Bow

Finally my Gift bag is again from the Lucky Me file and I used an envelope for the actual bag!

My fellow DT'er Tmika shared the how to on her You Tube Channel

A very super simple bag tied all together with some fun ribbon I had in my stash!!

I plan on filling it with some treats for my son's teacher!!

Ok now I just had to share some pictures of 

"The Girls"

It was so nice outside and they were loving life! I was trying to take some pictures of my card when they came to the back door to be photographed...LOL

Aren't they too cute?!?!

On that note I am signing off but will be back tomorrow with a new color challenge for

E.A.D Design!!!

Have a GREAT night!!!
