I'm doing a wee bit of cheering today:
1. My husband was supposed to travel - again - to work another biathlon competition, in Hinton, just east of the scenic mountain town of Jasper, this weekend. Frigid weather forecasts, however, compelled the organizers to reschedule the event, so my husband will be staying home. It's been a while since he's had a weekend off. Yayyy....
2. The same Arctic-like temperatures (okay, slight exaggeration) are predicted for here, as well. We're expecting -37C tonight and tomorrow night, with highs reaching to a balmy -25C during the day. Ick, BUT freezing cold outside gives me a perfect excuse to craft. Yayyy x 2....
3. My now-staying-at-home husband has a paper to write for a Leadership course he's taking, which means he'll be soooo focused on writing, revising, more writing for submission Saturday by midnight (yes, we do share similar last minute tendencies...) that I'll have no one distracting me while crafting. Yayyy x 3....
Those little causes for celebration made me think of four-leaf clovers, and since I have a teeny one in my stash, I got to creating...
My mini's layout was inspired by Unscripted Sketches #245,
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments make my day!

What a good idea to use a medallion for the circle! Thank You for playing with us at Unscripted Sketches this week! I hope you will join us next week!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooooo cool! The polka dot paper is bang-on perfect with the medallion...as is in the punched out circles in each petal/blade/arm/....what the heck would it be called? Whatever...they look great together!
ReplyDeleteThe lucky four leaf clover will bring riches to the recipient and create reason for a celebration! Awesome idea!
Oh so cute!! I love the rosette!! Sorry about the temps!! Winter is not going anywhere soon!!
