Everyone is Irish on St Patrick's Day

Everyone is Irish on St Patrick's Day... or March 25th as the case may be...

This month's hostess at the Sisterhood of the Traveling Cards, Susan, chose to honor St Patricks Day, in a fashion. Cards are to showcase other little green creatures, ie frogs, crocodiles, dragons, etc.

While perusing Michael's one day, I came upon this set. Of course I was not there to buy stamps, but I had to look in that aisle anyway. You understand. Anyway... I picked it up, put it down, picked it up, put it down, picked it up...  Finally I decided, "oh why not?" and brought it up to the register. (Main Squeeze was a big help in this department. He always tells me if I want/need it I should buy it. Very dangerous proposition) What luck - it was 40% off! Whoo hoo!! When Susan's theme was posted, I just knew I had to use one of my new monster friends.

A cute little guy like this needs the right background. Have I ever mentioned how much I adore SU's designer series paper packs? They are so much fun and the way a pack coordinates - it reminds me of Garanimals. Although I was too big when they first came on the market, I could certainly appreciate the concept. A 'must have' for me when it comes to choosing paper.

Lastly I needed something to dress him up. Those spots you see; they are metal dots by Colorbök. I cannot find a direct link to them, but I can tell you they are self adhesive and dimensional (as in they are not flush with the paper) Pretty cool, eh?
