BBTB2 and The Cutting Cafe St. Patrick's Day

This week I had to do something I don't usually do and that's combine two of my Design Team assignments into one project.  I spent all last week almost completely immobile after hurting my back.  Between pain pills, muscle relaxers, heating pad and ice packs I'm almost recovered.  I had to buck up this past weekend though since I had planned and paid for a fabulous two day bus tour of Tampa area scrapbook stores.  It was, seriously, the most fun I've ever had.  I'll post pictures and tell you all about it later in the week.  Meanwhile, for the BBTB2 challenge this week our fabulous DT sister, Lori, asked us to design using a shamrock from any Cricut cartridge.  There are shamrocks on quite a few cartridges but for mine I used Paper Doll Dress Up.  After cutting it I ran it through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder and dressed it up with a twine bow and green button.  My sentiment is from The Cutting Cafe's Lucky Me Printable Stamp Set.  This set comes with 15 phrases and over 30 assorted clovers in black/white and color.  This week at The Cutting Cafe the DT will be featuring St. Patrick's Day projects.  You'll be able to see all the DT projects at The Cutting Cafe Blog on Wednesday.
