It's not easy being green

Spring is knocking at our door...
Are YOU ready for it?!?!
When I think of Spring, I think of St. Patrick's Day!
Here is my nod to the flowers budding, leaves growing on my fruit trees and Oranges growing ripe...
It's coming up green, baby!
This FUN card was created using the
Hearts A Flutter Bundle...
the 15% savings just sweetens the deal! (Spring Mini) 
This cute Stamp set and coordinating Framelits Dies makes it Easier than EVER to create a fun four-leaf clover.
My Color Coach
(a FAVORITE tool of mine in the Idea Book & Catalog) suggested Old Olive and Certainly Celery as
Monochromatic siblings...
 
Using the Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper in Old Olive and the Simply Scored Board and Scoring tool created this cute lolly/rosette as the base for my Good Luck/Love Clover.  I needed a 'break' from the two so using the Medium Doily in the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits L and Big Shot in Whisper White creates a white doily to break them up.
Button UP this card (lol) with our Brights Designer Buttons in Old Olive - awww the flower even looks a little like a clover on a clover!

PEARLS!!!!!
I love the shimmer and elegance from the Pearl...
our Basic Jewels adhesive backed Pearls
fit perfectly in the middle of the buttons. 
 The Distressed Dots background stamp (Idea Book and Catalog)  with Old Olive ink on the Certainly Celery cardstock mimics the polka dots on the paper and the heart-polka dots on this Lucky In Love Clover...

Now, Green may NOT be my favorite color.. but a certain friend in green was a favorite charector of my childhood.
***
Introducing Kermit the Frog to my kids is a great way to bring sweet memories back to life! 
My oldest daughter, Gloria, named this card...
 she's 25 this year but still a kid at heart.
(Me, too!!)

The Hearts a Flutter stamp set and coordinating framelits has the CUTEST collection of Flags!  Sooo Trendy!!
Inking this cute Teeny Tiny Wishes in Old Olive I stamped the sentiment 'Happy St. Patrick's Day'. 

Thennn I inked Certainly Celery ink on this cute striped flag but then I Stamped OFF - this means you stamp the ink and have an even lighter inked image... it's a perfect background to the sentiment but didn't overwhelm it...

The Basic Pearls Jewels page has long stips of connected adhesive backed pearls - here they frame each side of the flag!  Too the pearls continue the dots of the card...
 Are YOU Lucky In Love??
Do You Feel 'It's Tough Being Green' some days...
(I Love Kermit - lol!)
 
Have FUN with Hearts - they make a lovely clover!
(Who wouldn't want to be lucky in love - lol.)

    You put a lot of different elements together on this one - they work great. I just love that background stamp, it is my favorite I think!

    I really like how the dots all seem to go together. Great take on the challenge.

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
