Happy Birthday, Maureen!

It's time for our first challenge over at the Sisterhood and what better than to start out than a good ol' Irish challenge on St. Patrick's Day?! It also happens to be my friend Maureen's birthday, so I made this Irish card for her. I don't know if it made it to her for today, but if not, it should be there by the end of the week =)
I used the My Graphico Sketch 39 that my friend Karin so clearly rocked and I was inspired to give it a try.

The white on my wonderful sister Teri's beautiful shamrock is actually glimmer mist that didn't spritz as lovely as I'd have liked, but whatever - it was the best of the ones I had printed, so you'll have to deal with it, M!


Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
