when i say shamrock...i seem to put emphasis on the rock part...even have been known to do a little air guitar along with it!...so... when thinking up a little st paddy's day crafty...had the idea to get out some old records again!...and how awesome was it to find i had a green one in my stash!...
with some tracing, melting, and snipping...i ended up with this adorable little guy!...but wasn't done there...drilled a hole and added some ball chain...instant keychain!...or you could use one of those keyring thingies ...sorry for the technical term...lol...
the quick how to...i cut the shamrock shape from my cricut paper doll dress up and cartridge at 2 1/4" inches...using a pencil...traced onto the record...heated the oven to 200 degrees...put record on a silicon baking sheet...heated for like a minute or two...it'll start to "ruffle" up...then using my tim holtz scissors...started cutting away...when the record starts hardening up...just pop back in and reheat...keep doing this until the shamrock's all cut out!...put back in oven one final time... take out and curl up the edges a bit...you're done!...
but don't panic...no green record?...it's still just as cute with a black one!...this one has a pin slapped on the back!...
packaged all up for gifting!...
now this is for sure...one sham-ROCKING paddy's day craft!...

'STACHE ON A STEEK
so...i'm not exactly sure why moustaches are cracking me up right now...but they are!...epecially this one!...who'd a thunk it...that you slap a moustache cut out on a lollipop stick...and bamm...hours of fun!...
well...this project is super easy!...i just used my cricut paper doll dress up cart...cut the moustache twice at 5 1/2" inches...then used some martha stewart flock on one...to give it a little bit of fuzzines...but i must warn you...that stuff gets flocking everywhere!...lol...then sandwich a lolly stick in between the two!...finito!...now let the laughs begin!...
the 'stache in action...don't you feel sorry for my coworkers?...lol...
