MY PROJECT INFO:

For the St. Patty's Theme - I went Celtic and made a fabulous Green and Gold Mini Book inspired by an Irish Blessing and some delightful Fairies and Butterflies. I added different flowers, ribbon and a ton of shimmer (gold of course!) and there you go. I hope you're inspired by my creation. I'll be giving this sweet book away to 1 lucky hopper so they can put pics of the people who bless their life in it. Have fun hoppin'!

Smooches,
Amy

An Old Irish Blessing :
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall softly upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.


I made a big and beautiful flower out of newsprint paper and sponged it with gold ink, spritzed it with with shimmer and added gold wire tinsel underneath for added texture.



I love these sweet butterflies peeking out of the pattern of the paper. With a little fairie postage stamp placed next to them. Cute! Rosette embellishments add the perfect touch to this 6x6 page.


I love how the rosette turned out! It's burgundy satin adorned with a pearl. It's just the depth of color that this page needed. I love the border punching under the fairie pic. Pretty!



I kept these pages simple. I used the same border punch for uniformity and plenty of room for sweet pics or journaling.

More butterflies have come out to flutter around. Each of them having a little pearl between their wings. And another paper rose adorns the last page.

Have a fabulous day and thanks for visiting!!
