Happy St. Patrick's Day! Today InStyle Stamps has another "Over the Hump Blog Candy Giveaway" for you. This month we were asked to use the colors green and yellow. Well, after my last card, you all know I don't have a lot of DP with green, but add some other colors to the mix, and I'm good to go.
Green and yellow just screamed Spring to me, so I used this cute Teacup with Chick image (and for those of you that just want the teacup, you can get the Teacup without Chick image) and of course there is a really cute matching Teapot image as well. Speaking of spring, I am loving the warmer weather we've been having and so have the kids. Now I can't wait until the flowers start blooming!
You know we'd love to see what you come up with using the colors Green and Yellow. Head on over to the InStyle Stamps blog for more information and to link your project.

This month our theme was New Year's and I thought Ava holding a banner would be a good way to welcome 2010.
What is New Year's without all kinds of glitz? Well, to capture some of that I used some sparkly paper from DCWV All Dressed up Stack, colored in Ava's wings and barrettes with Tiara stickles and added this fun metallic trim I picked up last month. I hand wrote the 2010 on the banner and the Happy New Year sentiment is inside the card since I didn't want to clutter up the front. The panel with Ava on it is on dimensionals.

Our theme was snow, and I decided to make a snow globe card. The tutorial is here on SCS, but I did have to modify it as I wanted a larger card.
I colored Sandy in with my Copics, cut her out and then added stickles along with some rhinestones. Isn't she just the cutest?!? The "back" side of the globe is stamped with snowflakes enhanced with some stickles. After that was done, I decided that she needed to be standing on some snow, so a piece of paper and lots of stickles later I had a wonderful snow bank for her to stand on. Of course, I couldn't just leave it at that ~ I added a few snowflakes to the front of the card (and, yup, you guessed it, those are covered in stickles as well) and then put rhinestones in the centers of those for a little more color. This was a really fun card to make and surprisingly it didn't take all that long. I think it actually took longer trying to get a picture of it without the glare from the transparency sheet!
Here is the inside:
