St. Patty's Day Decor

Yayyy for getting all set and decorated for St. Patrick's Day.....on the first day of the month!

I'm on a ball!!

All of these projects are done with paper, a little glue, some ribbon, and the trusty cricuit.....

ok, it was more time consuming than I thought. 

Took about 2 days. but I have an active 2-year old and an uncomfortable 9 mo. body that can only sit at my "craft table" {dining table} for short periods.

First, I started off with my banner. 

I used cardstock to make the base, cut it out using Birthday Bash @ 4" {I only had 2 sheets of 12x12 paper and had to use all the space I could} it's nice, because it cuts out the holes for you!

The scallop circle is really cute Hambly paper {really old, I haven't bought paper in years, actually :)} they are cut at 3"

and then a whole 6x12 sheet of 1" hearts. {from George and basic shapes} 

That is a lot of hearts!! 

I got the idea from here. She has some super cute stuff {always}

Her's is much bigger. Probably took less time. {I had to ink the edges of all those little hearts!--talk about hand cramp}

And....I used 4 leaves....for a 4-leaf clover! {should be luckier, right?}

Then I used $ more peices of paper to make this "Lucky {in love}" sign

The "Lucky" was cut out of my cricuit....a bird's nest....?? size 5.5

the rest are much smaller - like an inch but then 2" for the love.

This is a printable that I found here

It's free and comes in 2 different colors and has 2 designs on the side. 

I trimmed mine down and put more paper around it....

I am to preggo to worry about finding a frame for everything. 

I put them all in storage {of course....That was when I thought we were moving and was just tired of stuff being out. lol.

Except this frame. 

super cheap one, i know. and i don't care... ;)

It had a pic of my super cute nephew and daughter. you can't just put that away....but you can temporarily cover it! lol.

with paper. it's cute!

I change it all around everyday.

I was going to put a piece of art from K on there too...but it got ruined :/ {no comment!}

Now we are all decorated for this baby to come. 

I'm thinking that the 17th will be a good day for her to come.....what do you think??

I'm due the 19th by sono and the 21st by lmp.

I went 11 days overdue with K....

I am already having lots of contractions that I barely had with K.

I've started taking my red raspberry leaf tea to help with labor. 

Not going to start with any induction "wives tales" until after the 17th

that will be fun!!

Bring on the Labor Cake!! :)
