Deanne, you have done a gorgeous job coloring up your sweet bear. I love the gold in the pot and the rich browns you have used for the bear. Nice sparkle on the clover leaf too. I can appreciate how cold you are there. It is extemely cold here too. I can't even stand to be out in it. I even had my coat on all day today at work. Hope you get warmed up...I am trying to as well.

Oh -44 that's cold, I've never ever experienced that cold in my life. It was so hot here last night that we slept with the sliding door open beside our bed onto the deck it was so hot, humid and sticky, I think it was the humidity that was worse. You would need toe, finger and nipple warmers in those temperatures!!!!
I just love your card, I was going to get that image seeing my DH is Irish but I couldn't resist that frog. I love your pot of gold and your lovely Irish Teddy and awesome card. Love your new blog header it looks great and I love the colours as well. Looking good, now keep warm.
Hugs

Wow, I always love how your do your glitter. It is rather striking! Perfect for this card! I adore your gold ribbon and the Good Luck sentiment. Try to stay warm. I have been thinking of you and all the DT who are being affected by this storm.
