Fiskateers St. Patrick's Day Mini Online Crop (SPD)

Over on Fiskateers they are having a Mini Online Crop
Here are some of the challenges I completed:

Challenge #1: Kermit The Frog
Your challenge is to create something inspired by America's favorite 'GREEN' character - Kermit the Frog!

You can take this in any direction you wish.  Use the color combination of his character (lime green, with a pop of red, white and black), marry the colors of him and his lover girl Miss Piggy together on a project (green and pink), create a frog punch art embellishment, sew a frog stuffed toy, or make a card focused around his famous one-liner or a froggy-focused sentiment.

Challenge #2: Somewhere Over The Rainbow

Your challenge is to create something that clearly makes rainbow colors shine on your project!

Challenge #3: All That Glitters Is Gold
Your challenge is to create using gold products: fabric, paper, embellishments, glitter, paint, sequins, tissue paper, etc.)

Challenge #4: Kiss Me I'm Irish

Your challenge is to create a project focused on love and kisses using green as your primary color instead of the traditional pink and red.

Challenge #5: He's After Me Lucky Charms

Your challenge is to create a project using charms!  For you papercrafters, that might mean digging into your bowl of metal to unearth some long forgotten embellishments, and you fabric enthusiasts might find yourself reaching for a soft charm pack.  Either way, I'm sure the gallery with hold charming results.

ALSO USED THIS LAYOUT FOR MY LIFTATEERS - WEEK #24

Challenge #6: As Luck Would Have It

Your challenge today is to create a project based on good fortune, good luck, &/or lucky 4-leaf clovers, otherwise known as Shamrocks!

Scrap Our Stash DT - Challenge #1 - Kraft It Up

Scrap Our Stash Challenge #1 ~ Kraft It Up!
And here is the prize you are playing for this month:

For our first challenge we are going to get busy and ... 

THE CHALLENGE:

Create a LAYOUT and at least 50% of the products you use on your layout must be Kraft paper and/or embellies.   

Oh, and that's not it!  

You will have to dig further into your stash because...

you must include 3+ metal embellishments..  You can mix or match the metal embellishments as long as there are 3 or more on you layout.

Here is what I created for this challenge:

I love Kraft paper! It works so well with my current style...which is best described as shabby chic but with an rustic twist. I fine that I use a lot of earthtones and distress often, either edge or inked distressed and/or both! 

I used green pattern paper and added basic Kraft cardstock.  Made my own flags and ran some Kraft through the paper crimper. Using CTMH Desert Sand ink to stamp around the page. Also, got to use my Old tools and pulled out the Sizzix Sidekick and Cat N' Mouse letter dies for my title. I cut out my flags and attached them to stick pins. Fished around a bin of misc. odds and ends and found some metal stars and photo anchors. 

SO ARE YOU ABLE TO GET KRAFTY?

One last thing...the Scrap Our Stash Challenge GUIDELINES! 

To be eligible for the prize drawing you must link up your project using Mr Linky
