St. Patrick's Day LO {Frosted Designs Sketch Challenge}

Here is my take on this week's Sketch Along Tuesday at Frosted Designs.   Tanner was so excited about St. Patrick's Day this year!

Here is the sketch.  Of course, I had to "Boy it Down" quite a bit :o)

I cut out the title from Designer's Calendar in green and then added green stickles to it.  I glued down the gold coins he found at preschool.

I cut out a shamrock from Paper Doll Dress Up and journaled around the edge of it.  Tanner made this bracelet in Preschool on the 16th and was soooo worried about getting pinched if he didn't wear green ~ he slept with his bracelet on!!!

I had to include a photo of him wearing his bracelet.  Nice face paint too!!

I found this celtic-looking lace from Paper Lace to use as a background.   Put it all together and you have one awesome memory!!

Thanks for stopping by today and be sure to check out the other layouts at Frosted Designs!!!
