Happy St. Patty's Day!!!

Good Morning Everyone, Happy Friday!!!! Its snowing and COLD here today...Yuck!!! The kids got a two hour delay though which is good so they don't take anymore days from their spring break!!!

Today I would like to share a creation with you that I made for the Outlawz Thursday challenge this week, to make a monochromatic card using anything but alcohol markers!!! I decided since St. Patty's Day is right around the corner I would make a GREEN Monochromatic Creation!!!
