It's hard to believe that, before the end of this week, March will be here! And once March is here – at least in the northern hemisphere – we are going to be beginning to be seeing lots of green! Already I have seen photos of crocuses with their green leaves peeking through some snow.
And of course there are those of us who have fun with St. Patrick's Day Green! I remember going to school on St. Patrick's Day and making sure that I had at least something green or else it was open season on pinching! This month St. Patty's Day is a Sunday and I'll be sure to have my favorite green sweater no matter where I head that day!
But whether you celebrate the green of spring or the green of a bit of the Irish, or just one or more of the fun greens that are in the Stampin' Up! collection, I hope you'll join in our Going Green Challenge.
Our Design Team has a fun variety of Green to help you with some inspiration –
and we're looking forward to your challenge entries. All the rules are at the end of this post.

To participate in our challenge, make a card or other paper-crafted project and post a photo of it to your blog or a gallery on the internet. Then come back here and use our link tool at the bottom of this post to share the photo with us.
PLEASE remember this: We're looking for cards posted to the internet after February 25, 2013. This is a NEW challenge!
And, of course, your projects should be made with Stampin' Up! products only. The products may be those that are in current catalogs, or they may be retired products. But (as our blog title says) SUO – Stampin' Up! Only! This means that products from other papercrafting, rubber stamp, die-making or other companies may not be included in your project or in any other project included in your blog post if Stampin' Up! sells a like product. For example, Stampin' Up! does not sell sewing thread. So use of sewing thread from another company is just fine. Stampin' Up! does sell the Sizzix Big Shot, so use of die-cuts, texture plates or other such products from another company is not fine. If you have a question, please send an e-mail to our Coordinator, Robin Messenheimer, and she'll be glad to answer it!
Challenge Dates: February 26, 2013 (3 am USA Eastern Time) –
March 9, 2013 (9 am USA Eastern Time)

Wow…the Design Team samples are awesome! Thanks for sharing;)
I added a 2nd entry to SUO #65 Going Green, but I couldn't get my link added to the collection as it said the link was already in the collection. Can you fix it so my second entry shows. It is such a cute entry using the Ears to You stampset and using LOTS of fabulous green! If you can make it happen that would by awesome!
