Irish challenges

The Creative Cutter Room challenge is to create a project with the Theme: Lucky to Have You.  There four required elements: use the color green, pot of gold, clover and a button.  I'll say I got the green covered!

Sandy's challenge over at Creative Scrapbooking Divas is to create a project with the theme: Luck of the Irish.  There are only two required elements the color green and a pot of gold.  Yeppers, got it covered too!

This is my dear husband, Michael on our trip to Dublin, Ireland.  After visiting the Dublin castle, we waited for our tour bus, but not before Michael got his coffee.  He claims it was the best coffee he has ever had!  But then again, he would say that, afterall he's Irish!  This is my first Ireland layout of our trip; still haven't completed my European trip, but it's ongoing project. :) 

Background paper is Colorbok, all other DCWV. The pot of gold and the clovers are Recollections dimensionals. The brad is from Creative Imaginations and the ribbon from Joann's.  I used my Cri-kit glitter pens to draw the top layer of "Dublin" and cut the second layer.  My journaling tag is hidden behind the picture.

Blog Hop Winner!

and the winner of the Fancy Pants stamp set is:  #43 Marianne - Fiskateer #6701
