Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Are you wearin' your green?? Havin' corned beef and cabbage for dinner?

I absolutely love the Anita Jeram images at Colorado Craft Company. This little guy is so perfect for St. Patrick's day and incredibly easy to watercolor.

I have also become hooked on gel press backgrounds. (Thanks, Jennifer!) Honestly, I was able to crank out 9 of these little slider cards, from start to finish, including the background paper, in about 6 hours.

I was trying to get them done before the mail person came, but they had a sub on today and she was here WAY earlier than usual.  Oh, well, tomorrow will be okay.
