A blogging and SCS friend, Bonnie Klass of Stamping with Klass, has what she calls a "UFO box," her term for her collection of UnFinished Objects, and she often describes part of a card she's made as having been rescued from her UFO box. What a great idea!! After I read about that for the first time, I started my own UFO, well, . . . pile . . . on my stamping table. And sometimes I add images that, for whatever reason, just aren't quite right for the project I'm working on. But there really isn't anything wrong with them, so into the UFO . . . pile . . . they go. This bouquet of shamrocks image was rescued from my UFO pile (added a few weeks ago while working on this card). I thought it would work well with CPS Sketch #207.
Here are a few more challenges I piled on for this card:
- Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge: FTTC107, to make a St Patrick’s Day card or use the color green as your main color
- Delightful Challenges: Welcoming Spring
- Cute Card Thursday: Signs of Spring
- Stampin' Celebration Inspiration Challenge #42: to be inspired by the colors and theme of this photo

Emily this is just fabulous. I love this layout and your cute little buttons and clover embellishment. It's really sweet and the punched borders are perfect!
Wow, so many fun little details to look at. Great card. Thanks for joining us at the SCIC this week.
Emily this is just PERFECT!!!
I love your rescued UFO! I started with a pile too and it grew, and grew, and grew until it was out of contol on my table and had to be contained. Hence the box! I made a card today with a UFO that hadn't made it to the box yet. Using these babies up always give me a sense of completion or is it closure?
