Did you know? Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity accompanied by thunder, which typically occurs during thunderstorms, and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or dust storms. In the atmospheric electrical discharge, a leader of a bolt of lightning can travel at speeds of 220,000 km/h (140,000 mph), and can reach temperatures approaching 30,000 °C (54,000 °F). There are some 16 million lightning storms in the world every year.

Update: I was a top pick at Paper Sundaes for this challenge!

Here’s a card I’ve been trying to save for March but just couldn’t wait any longer to show it off. I made it using Lucky Dog and pulled out my clover gems that I’ve been saving. If you believe it, this was using some left over Christmas paper but worked well with the black and gold theme. This is one gift I wouldn’t mind seeing on my table each year. ;D

Did you know? A leprechaun is a type of fairy in Irish folklore, usually taking the form of an old man, clad in a red or green coat, who enjoys partaking in mischief. Like other fairy creatures, leprechauns have been linked to the Tuatha Dé Danann of Irish mythology. The Leprechauns spend all their time busily making shoes, and store away all their coins in a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. If ever captured by a human, the Leprechaun has the magical power to grant three wishes in exchange for their release.

I made this card using my new stamp Spring Whisper and is part of a Seasonal Sisters series. Even though she represents Spring, I wanted to make a card with more of an St. Patrick’s Day feel and used deep greens and browns, and red hair of course. You can see the stitching so this is a card I enjoyed making at my Mom’s house. ;D

Did you know? Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. Rabbits and hares were formerly classified in the order Rodentia until 1912, when they were moved into a new order Lagomorpha. This order also includes pikas and there are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits. The male is called a buck and the female is a doe; a young rabbit is a kitten or kit.

Come check out Spring Whisper and the newest release in the store today! She a Seasonal Sister to Summer Breeze and can be used for many occasions. With her serene pose you can sit her on your favorite background stamp or on a window/border die. I’ll have card to share in just a few minutes or if you can’t wait you can also look at what my Mom made at Grandma’s Pearl.

I’ve decided to finish out the Seasonal Sisters theme and have drafted up ideas for Autumn and Winter. It may take a while to finish them up… but at least you know what to look forward to. 😀

Don’t forget about the current challenge that I have going on and you can certainly use this image too. Unfortunately I haven’t seen any Little Miss Muffet Stamps used yet and would love to see some! ;D The theme is Spring or Flowers and you can CLICK HERE to get to the details.
