Happy Thursday, my friends!
This week has sure flown by for me! Has it been the same for you?
My friend Sandy introduced me to The Stamping Chef. I popped into their facebook page and found this fun free image. It's a bit different then my usual fare but lots of fun. When I saw it I just had to use it! Why...you ask? Well, because she made me laugh, of course! Oh, I think she's absolutely adorable but I laughed because of the memories she evoked. How many times did I forget to wear green to school on St Patrick's Day? How many times did I tell everyone I was wearing green underwear to avoid those nasty pinches? haha Well, this girl is not going to get any pinches, is she? :o)
The pearls might seem a bit random but they are serving a purpose. Always make sure your surface is clean when you turn your image over to apply adhesive! Yes, the pearls are hiding a couple of marks! lol I added some brads that just happen to match the design of the border punch. I thought that if four leaf clover is lucky then five leaf clover must be even luckier! ;o)

Cute! A little sassy without being trashy... hahahaha...
Great colouring Nancy and a fun image. I agree... pearls are not just embellishments, I've used them to cover up boo-boos many times.
Wow Nancy she's a cutie and a bit classy in her own style... Awesome coloring....
TFS ~ enjoy your wonderful day!

Fabulous Nancy !Your colouring is SO good ! The papers are lovely and really like that nestabilities die!
Oh yeah those random dirties can sneak up on you. Nice save and I wouldn't have thought a thing about it if you hadn't explained. Cute as can be! Hgus!
I like the pearls! That's a lot of work! Cute Nancy! ~*~Lisa
She's great, Nancy! Look at all the greens! They look super together! The pearls are a nice touch, even if they were to hide marks! Fab card, Nancy! xx Kathy

This is one lovely card Nancy! Different to your normal style, but I love it! You should do more of these, you are so good at them! Judy x
Oh, I'm laughing at you!!! Cute, Nancy!!!
Nancy I just love your card and you are correct in saying that I would say I had on green underware. Love it girl and I also understand turning it over and messing up the front. I have did this more times than I want to acknowledge. :) enjoy your day.
Oh my, she is certainly wearing green today. lol... She is so sassy... Great job, nancy. Love the punched border you used and the paper too. I love everything you create anyway. hehe. Thank you so much for joining us at Whimsical Designs this week. Hugs,

LOL! I hated those pinches too!
Another wonderful card, love the pearls too. I just saw someone post about those little boo boos, they said to take a nail file and file just the top of the paper to get rid of ink spots, I haven't tried that yet.
Sandy :)
