Lucky to Have You in My Life - Taylored Expressions

Hi all! Hope you've been having a Wonderful Weekend so far!;-) I was hoping to post this yesterday, but had some technical difficulties with our router.. lol  So much fun, I tell ya! NOT!! lol 8-) Well I thought I'd pop in real quick today to share my latest Taylored Expressions creation inspired by TE's Fun Lucky ALC, and just being the Good Irish Lass that I am as well, of course...;-)
I have such a challenging time finding Cute St. Patty's Day stamps and patterned papers each year, I tell ya! So you know I was thrilled with TE's Adorable Lucky ALC stamp!!;-)
I kept these pretty CAS & did a little paper piecing, colored up the rest with my trusty Copics & added a touch of shading with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. I cut them out and scored the edges with the help of my Score Pal for a nice clean look and popped them up with a bit of foam tapeFor my mats and BG layers, I chose a combination of Kraft CS, TE's Scallops & Circles Impression PlateChoice Snow White CS, Green CS from my stash, TE's Banner Stacklets 1 Dies & some Pretty Dp's from We R Memory Keepers Simply Spring 6x6 collection. To finish thems all up I added a sweet little Bows created with the help of my Bow Easy and some Darling Olive w/ Cream Dot Ribbon... 8-)

Here are the items I used for my project today...


Hope you all have a Fabulous day & Thanks so much for stopping in! 8-)
