St Patrick's Day is a fun holiday where for 24 hours everyone is Irish! When I lived in Alaska the firm I worked for hosted a huge St Patrick's Day party complete with green beer. I think I will mail this to them to add to the decor for the day.
I started with one of my favorite chipboard pieces from Creative Embellishments, a large tag. It is a great size to spark my creativity at 5.5" x 10". I covered the tag with paper from a Simple Stories St Patrick's Day collection from a couple of years ago. Then I stenciled on some shamrocks.
I used the chipboard Shamrock Shaker Set to make the shaker and filled it with these shaker pieces: Sparkletz in Winter Evergreen and Forest Gems from Buttons Galore. The Creative Embellishments shop has so many fun shaker sets, something for every occasion. Stop by and take a look, shakers are so "in" and they really are fun to make. I just painted around the edges to color mine and cut paper to fit inside.
Add a couple of cut-aparts, a bow at the top, a banner at the bottom, and it's done!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to join in the monthly challenges because, you could win a $50 gift certificate to the Creative Embellishments store, now that is sweet!! The challenge is usually the first post on our blog.
The base paper is unexpected—it really works, though, and adds so much to this awesome tag. GREEN—gotta love it.
