text-align: center;">I used a Silhouette design to cut out the base of my card and to generate the sentiments. This is a 6.5 x 5" card and fits perfectly into a A7 envelope. The large beer mug was printed on photo paper. This gives you a crisp image and the littled added shine from the photo paper adds to make it look more real :-) On the other hand though, I could not use anything to make the foam more realistic because it would not stick to the photo paper and one of the pastes actually ate away at it. It was not pretty, I assure you.

I used variegated DMC floss to stitch the shamrocks and the border. I was going to cross stitch the entire border, but found that I actually like it better this way. I print and cut the image a few times so that I could add an additional layer to create a little dimension, and to have a layer of the shamrocks to place on the inside. When it was all done, I felt that it was just too green and white so I added the cute lil ladybirds. The sentiment is a stamp from the Happy Days stamp set by Cardz TV. This is a 5.5" x 5.5" card and fits perfectly into a 5.75" square envelope.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And that is it for this month's challenge at Crafty Gals Corner.

The Happy Birthday die w/Shadow is from Kat Scrappiness. To add a little more interest, I cut out a few ladybugs and scattered them around. The little ladybug die was a gift from a crafts company, and I cannot remember which one, I'm ashamed to say. If any of you know, please leave a comment below so that I can update this post. I blame it on old age and the fact that I forgot to write it down. 😀 I also have a gold fish and a cute lil hibiscus from this same company.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Merienda; font-size: 15.84px;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm0JetuegUA28GYJx_Jk26cdKhiHTUEdy6U5oL88_09FeWOKeMqd9CUYsSxgl09sgyOHDKgnxbGbqPYlfYgdpanLGv78vdZgdRKee3IX5JgdnV6fvd2La4BT8WMGLz2W1IRnrb67mI2P3-M7kt658md0Rg5w_bNuNrgcbwLLy0oO0G__5LNHG8-Azc9fM/s4608/587e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm0JetuegUA28GYJx_Jk26cdKhiHTUEdy6U5oL88_09FeWOKeMqd9CUYsSxgl09sgyOHDKgnxbGbqPYlfYgdpanLGv78vdZgdRKee3IX5JgdnV6fvd2La4BT8WMGLz2W1IRnrb67mI2P3-M7kt658md0Rg5w_bNuNrgcbwLLy0oO0G__5LNHG8-Azc9fM/w480-h640/587e.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Merienda; font-size: 15.84px;">This is a 6" x 6" card and fits into a 6.25" square envelope perfectly.

I'm sorry I have been mostly MIA and have not had a chance to go visit your blogs, but I've been dealing with life and it has taken away from my crafting time. All I've had time for is my DT commitments and very little else. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;">I had thought that by now, I would be back to my normal routine. You see I gave myself January and February to deal with a bunch of personal things and to catch up on things that needed attending to. And I made good progress until the beginning of March came around and I realized that Easter is at the end of March and all of a sudden, between Birthday cards, (March is my busiest month with family and friends) Easter cards and New Home cards, I have 23 cards to make this month and some need to be done very soon so they can get mailed and hopefully reach their destinations overseas on time. Now add 36 Easter treat boxes for hubby's work, as well as my normal DT projects, and well ... I think you understand! Oh and I almost forgot ... an Anniversary card too 😀</span><span style="font-family: Merienda;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;">I have a card to share with you today, that was inspired by some pretty papers from Marianne Design and by a card design made by my sister in law, Marian from </span><a href="https://fonke007.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: Merienda;" target="_blank">Marian Creaties</a><span style="font-family: Merienda;">.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRmYzYVf6UYWz1yLGNPgDA4X8EzljG-55SmycgCHhZymuul06Su87nD7zjbbNIahwTXx9jA6Ey5WUnyRmrvoP8VghyphenhyphenwOxdJLEUI0hmuEJFyoJ9iTOuF9PPDxD0Fp7bP3Fb8cKIWBTrzriAmYpvztPHmsqatCg0GNE9gVizZ_DoQ8MYJVnAj4H2AT4ebwE/s4233/Easter-S&S%2001.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3435" data-original-width="4233" height="520" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRmYzYVf6UYWz1yLGNPgDA4X8EzljG-55SmycgCHhZymuul06Su87nD7zjbbNIahwTXx9jA6Ey5WUnyRmrvoP8VghyphenhyphenwOxdJLEUI0hmuEJFyoJ9iTOuF9PPDxD0Fp7bP3Fb8cKIWBTrzriAmYpvztPHmsqatCg0GNE9gVizZ_DoQ8MYJVnAj4H2AT4ebwE/w640-h520/Easter-S&S%2001.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;">Love how it came out. Of course I love, love this bunny image. I used the Circle Layout Die from Marianne Designs and cut out the image. Next I made another 5 layers of just the frame, out of cream cardstock. I adhered all the layers together and then paper pieced the inserts back into their place. When this was done, I adhered it to a 6 x 6 card base, added the decorative corners and a placed a small periwinkle pearl on the centre of each.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCe0dEY49DlS-4YEV-0yXPipNoHnqKioYYQk5LUcDp2B4Jk1veY8XNn0-f0v3YbYNFcF5O3DTfHyiTmceaVufxvVOSAdYl1jh92PwYonYgtizpZmviojjTqF32LJJOdHv_68PBOMa5h5ZoV3mVIN_X8XQO5bgLbtQ3kxFqFa19COsGFdtoElAbKgCKl-w/s3676/Easter-S&S%2002.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3446" data-original-width="3676" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCe0dEY49DlS-4YEV-0yXPipNoHnqKioYYQk5LUcDp2B4Jk1veY8XNn0-f0v3YbYNFcF5O3DTfHyiTmceaVufxvVOSAdYl1jh92PwYonYgtizpZmviojjTqF32LJJOdHv_68PBOMa5h5ZoV3mVIN_X8XQO5bgLbtQ3kxFqFa19COsGFdtoElAbKgCKl-w/w640-h600/Easter-S&S%2002.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;">Herer are a few close ups..</span></div><span style="font-family: Merienda;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgbIkgObYRMFBl2AH5oQZTxYS1qfnnSCJS8P_dstFbG5GlR4yrXf7GdvK9a31sI_E1bmhEs59LyO5WhxhE-fYEOrGJ70vUQL9aovTpM6cyIQpyfkTO46ETN4Vs1KzpcEtpJ-zRMuQFY4kuItSi_2grHHn0-b-K7_lDQWS_qyDCQlE1wyv3h3AsvBBZoKA/s4608/Easter-S&S%2003.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgbIkgObYRMFBl2AH5oQZTxYS1qfnnSCJS8P_dstFbG5GlR4yrXf7GdvK9a31sI_E1bmhEs59LyO5WhxhE-fYEOrGJ70vUQL9aovTpM6cyIQpyfkTO46ETN4Vs1KzpcEtpJ-zRMuQFY4kuItSi_2grHHn0-b-K7_lDQWS_qyDCQlE1wyv3h3AsvBBZoKA/w640-h480/Easter-S&S%2003.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;">I kept the inside very simple.

I remember being taught this at school, (way back when) but wasn't sure if it was still the case as I had read an article that a group of scientists were going to introduce penguins to the North. Apparently it didn't go well for the small colony of penguins. From the follow up article I read, no body really knows what happened to them. Scientists have also thought of placing polar bears in Antarctica, but it would disrupt the natural eco system down there, so they have shelved that idea for now. I'm sure the penguins and the seals that live there are very happy about that. There are apparently no large predators on the Antarctic landmass, so they only have to worry about whales when they go for a swim. I say leave these animals alone, they're exaclty where God meant them to be!

Then I used a sheet of Petite Plaids and used that to create one of the mats on my card. I thought it match the snowman's jacket perfectly.⛄ I matted the image and the plaid paper onto gold glossy cardstock and then adhered all the layers to a white card base. To add that little something special, I added a few snowflake sprinkles from Kat Scrappiness.</span></div></div><div style="font-size: 15.84px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgel8bOq2MoZvKjK-ffbGuPBYrANgfjV7PtHYqzu6N4_LP2RIOGA4bNaeBuNrupuyr9JZGnC05EABiAZuq46Vi6Y_B9SsL_QUmO9f0KwB6jjRnIILQZaxQgvYYm_hFhgLYSf7OOM4fbGCOEkWKCcPBWr59-OawzbMYObysHWchjNoW9z1C1H7GW4-fbTxY/s3783/CCAYR-01b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="3783" height="584" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgel8bOq2MoZvKjK-ffbGuPBYrANgfjV7PtHYqzu6N4_LP2RIOGA4bNaeBuNrupuyr9JZGnC05EABiAZuq46Vi6Y_B9SsL_QUmO9f0KwB6jjRnIILQZaxQgvYYm_hFhgLYSf7OOM4fbGCOEkWKCcPBWr59-OawzbMYObysHWchjNoW9z1C1H7GW4-fbTxY/w640-h584/CCAYR-01b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;">On the inside I just used a few left over pieces to create a little border for my stamp.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i><u><span style="font-family: Merienda;">Crafty Materials used to make this card:</span></u></i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;">Hunkydory's Little Book of Frosty & Friends</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;">Divity Designs Petite Plaids Paper Pad</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;">Marianne Design Gold Cardstock</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;">Kat Scrappiness White Snowflakes Sprinkles</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;">Paper Inspirations - Christmas Peace Sentiment Stamp</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;">VersaFine Onyx Black Ink</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;">Recollections 5.5" x 5.5" White Card & Envelope</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Merienda;"><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 15.84px;"><span style="color: #0a0a0a;">Thanks so much for stopping by today.
