Humor Me Wednesday at Catch the Bug

Hi, everyone!

We all know about holidays through the year such as Valentine's Day, Easter, July 4th and Christmas, but what about those oft-forgotten, completely crazy head-scratcher holidays that are rarely heard of, and often laughable?! Well.........at Catch the Bug we will be highlighting some of the whacky holidays each week with some great projects and cards to depict them! We're calling it

Humor Me Wednesday!

We hope you will join us in the fun each week: take a peek at some of the different days by visiting the talented DT members for Bugaboo Stamps for some inspiration. Most holidays are just belly-busters, while others are just plain fun! :0) We are choosing holidays from each week for the Humor Me Wednesday creations, so we aren't all covering the same one. We're hoping this offers you that much more inspiration and fun! :0)

For my card today, I chose to use the March 17 holiday: St. Patrick's Day. Some other more humorous holidays this week are happening on March 19 - Poultry Day, March 22 - National Goof Off Day; and March 23 National Chip & Dip Day. 

While my choice isn't a funny card or subject, it is one of those holidays that I typically don't make any cards for. I did make ONE other card for this holiday: it never hurts to have two, right?! lol! I actually used the same image for both of my cards for St. Patrick's Day this year. I just love this image! This is Edward Elephant - St. Patrick's Day. The inside of my card reads, "...to have a friend like you!". I guess I can still send this now that it's post-St. Pat's Day. :0)

Bugaboo Luck & Kaboodle Doodles Challenge

Hi, everyone!
I worked on this card last week for the Catch the Bug Challenge Blog "Green With Envy" challenge,  but I had missed the posting deadline for that one. Instead, she is going to be entered in their "Anything Goes" Challenge, and also in the Kaboodle Doodles Challenge Blog "Go Green" challenge! I think she's cute, and thought you might like a free svg today, so here she is! :0)

I used Jodie's, cute little fairy, and colored her in PSE. You can find her on Jodie's website, Bugaboo Stamps. The papers I used are Stampin' Up card stock: Glorious Green. The dp papers are some old MME papers I've had in my stash. The shamrock and the layered frame are my creation, and available as a freebie in the left sidebar under "Shamrock Bubble Frame" and "Clover" (two separate files today! (0: )

I used PSE to make the sentiment, punched it and layered it with Stampin Up hand punches, 1" Circle, 1-3/8" Circle. The two tiny clovers are negatives of the frame, and I colored them in with some gel pens. The large clover is run through Cuttlebug with the D'Vine Swirls folder, then I added some Lime Green Stickles to the embossed swirls. Two gem brads for the Stampin' Up Designer Brads on the bottom corners finished it off.

As you can see, I did take a few liberties with the sketch part of Bugaboo's challenge, but I think you can still see the sketch here.......can you??

Happy Crafting, everyone!
