I'm Not Lucky

The Valentine's Day decor has been taken down around the house ... a couple weeks late. I'm realizing the need for some in-between-decor—some cute things to put up until I can get out my spring decor. St. Patrick's Day decor would be the obvious choice, but I'm not really into the whole "Kiss Me I'm Irish" thing (although I think my mom's side of the family may have some Irish in them) or the whole lucky shamrock thing. I really don't believe in luck. I like to say I'm blessed. God never leaves anything to luck. He has it all in His hands. Yeah ... I'm blessed.

So, with that in mind, I created this little wall hanging.

It's got a St. Patrick's Day vibe to it, but as you can see, the little birdie sitting on the shamrock says it all.

I used the bottom from a Laughing Cow Cheese package for my center circle and two chipboard circles at the top and bottom. The papers, buttons, brads and other bits are all Fancy Pants—most of it from the new It's The Little Things collection.

I also used a few of the new Filter Paper Embellishments, from the Artist Edition collection, to create my flowers and shamrock. The paper roses were created using this technique. I love the way they turned out, especially that black and white, stripey one!

I hope you enjoyed my wall hanging! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
