Top 'o the day to ya! For those of you who are visiting on St. Pat's Day . . .HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY to ya don't ya know! For those who aren't and the day is over, may good luck be with ya! Sorry I'm so late with this post, but some ornery little leprechauns were playing some dirty little tricks with me blogger. . .I was getting to the point of wanting to stick a pot of gold up their little . . .Oh, sorry! I got a little carried away with me self! LOL On with the post then lads and lassies. . .
Since it is after 1:00 AM here, it is technically St. Patrick's Day, so I'll start with a St. Pat's card which I am entering into Ted's challenge (HERE) which is to use the colors of the national flag of Ireland. Here is my card:
I don't know if Ted will disqualify me for this, but I think he said we needed to also use a shamrock. I believe these are clovers, but what the heck. . .I say close enough. And if you disqualify me TED, I'll have to hit you upside the head with my sheleighly! And don't ya think I won't be a doin it either! This is a House Mouse image colored with my colored pencils and oms.
Next is a get well card for a friend of my blogging friend Patti at Cherish Each Precious Day. Patti asked me to give a shout out for her regarding cards being made for this poor woman. She sounds like a very sweet wonderful person going through some rough times, so I wanted to help. Here is the card:
My last thing to share is a 3-D project. I saw this on Splitcoast and just went crazy over it. I think it is the cutest idea and I had to give it a try. Take a look:
For the deets on how to make this clever creation you can go HERE.
Well that does it for another Wednesday Evening Post. I hope you've enjoyed it. I'm so glad that you stopped by and I hope I made it worth your while. And in honor of the day, let me leave you with an old Irish blessing:
May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the hollow of His hands.
Love you guys!
Best,
Curt O'Brien

Top of the mornin to you! Did you notice that each of your fabulous cards has green in them? I just love the tissue holder and I am going to have to make myself one. Always happy to read your Weds post even if it is on a Thursday! LOL.
Enjoy your day.
The Boys look so festive!
I had posted some Pictures of my Guinness on my blog, They were posted earlier in the month, He is doing so well, and getting big!
Once again, you have knocked another one (actually 3) out of the park, Curt! Your Irish themed card is so cute ... love how you put the flag colors behind the image as a background. The little get-well with the leg cast is quite appropriate and so well done. And lastly, the tissue card is just plain STINKIN CUTE! It's always a treat to see what you post each week and I am NEVER disappointed.
Hi Curt...I have to say this is my first time leaving a comment on your blog! I have been following your blog for quite a while now and absolutely LOVE what you do! I found you through a friend of mine who is a stamper/cardmaker and has her own blog as well. I love your style and your creativity! I personally am a scrapbooker but slowly crossing over to the cardmaking side...I look forward to your weekly posts! Love your work! Thank you for sharing!
Happy St.Patrick`s Day Curt. My late grandfather was Irish I think that is where my two daughter`s get their red hair from. Love your tissue box great idea also the other cards are gorgeous. Top of the morning to you. Hugs from sunny Jersey U.K.
Happy St. Patrick's day to you. Love your cards, and I am sure your clovers will pass the test. Those HM stamps are too gorgeous and am going to have a look at the tissue box.Warm wishes

My computer backs up each night at 1 a.m. Thanks for the shout out! Much appreciated. Love all of your projects today! Your cards are fabulous, as always, and the cast on the foot is priceless! Penny will totally adore it! Love the tissue holder too. I've seen that, but not tried it - guess I will now! Thanks for the inspiration!

Happy St. Patricks day to ya Curt.
There is a saying, "there are those who are Irish, and those who want to be". Guess being married to one is close.
Have a great day.
Absolutely love your cards. House Mouse is the best, even if I don't own any. Love to see what you do with them.

Hi Curt,
This is too cute and very useful I might add. How did I miss the tute for this on SCS? Hmmm, gotta go try one. I have a cute House Mouse sitting in a teacup that would work. I see my weekend project for sure.

Hi Curt.... just love the house mouse stamps and you have made such a great job of colouring and made such great cards, love the tissue holder and may just have to make one (or two) lol, what a sad but uplifting story of the lady you made a card for, I shall make time in the next 2 weeks to send a card, what a fantastic outlook on life.... I pray each day for the people of Japan... how do you start to put back together, a country so devastated, without power, water food and basics of life, have a good week
Regards Tilly x
Wonderful cards! I say the St. Patty's Day one is 'just right' for Ted's challenge. Have a wonderful week and may the luck of the Irish be with you too!
Hi there.. Your cards are adorable..I love the tissue holder. I am so glad to hear that someone else is having trouble with blogger besides me.. it is a stinker sometimes. Great job.
The highlight of my Thursdays is to go check out your posts and this one was well worth the week of waiting. OMG how cute is the mouse with the case on - I know Patti's friend is going to love it. And the tissue box card is just to stinkin cute - off to check out the instructions, And a Happy St, Pats day to you.
Curt, glad to see you; better late than...

As they always are, your cards are fabulous! And tell those naughty little leprechauns they'll have a lot of mad bloggers, who wait for your creations, ready to help you stuff their little ??@@@## if they get in the way of delaying you of our being mermerized by your creativity!!!
Love all your wonderful cards!
I see the boys have appropriate scarves on. Gotta love 'em.
Beautiful cards Curt and I absolutely love your tissue pack creation. What a fabulous gift.
And a Happy St. Patrick's day to you too Lad! Loved your cards and that tissue holder card is over the top! Now my 100% Irish great-granny used to say

HUGS my friend

Good Morning and Happy Day After...I was looking for you yesterday and very sad I could not find you ! : (
Oh I am not a house mouse fan, but I think that may change if I keep looking here : )

but the boys dressed in the St Patty's Day attire is just too sweet...
Thank you for sharing your work as well as places to look, I really have to get that "LINK" stuff down...Ah someday when life is not so busy...
Off to get this Friday moving, Enjoy your weekend...

Oh Happy ST. Patty's day to you Mr O'Brien!
Your cards are wonderful like always. I love the 3-D Project. 1 AM how do you post at that time? Those leprechauns are little devils.
I love the House Mouse Images. They are adorable.

Hey Curt! I love all the cards and the tissue dispenser is just too cute. My heart breaks for the poor Japanese people. How strong they are to endure all the disasters piled upon them. I hope the tragedies end soon so they can begin rebuilding their lives and that in itself will be difficult. BTW, I think you are the person your dogs think you are, too. Curt, you are such a giving person and I admire you immeasurably!
Super hugs to ye!
Always be happy! =]
