Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you who celebrate~after all as the saying goes, "Everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day!" Here today for the
Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Waltz. This month's theme is all about
St. Patrick's Day/Irish. Claire has changed things up a bit,
instead of having a competition to spot things in photos like we usually do - Claire will pick a random commenter from the March of WMS blog waltz chat thread (click HERE) to award a prize to.
All you have to do is chat about your favourite St Pat's day memories - or things to do - or indeed any old blether you have to say about things Irish in general will do. Just post it HERE. On the 20th, Claire will pick a random post. Of course the more you chat, the more chances you have of winning. You can find
COMPLETE details in the
Waltzingmouse Forum (Playroom:Blog Waltzes), where you'll also find all the links for the waltz.
I printed a free digital image from HubPages of a sweet little Irish girl then showcased her on paper created by stamping various background sets including: polka dots from
Off Beat Backgrounds,
Musical Backgrounds.
I stamped the CELEBRATE sentiment from
Free Spirit - Sentiments then using a ribbon banner die template from
S4-324 Ribbon Banners to cut/emboss the image.
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you join along with the waltz enjoying all the Irish inspiration along the way! Be Sweet :)
