Frolicking Leprechauns

I'm a couple of days late with this but I think its cute so we're extending St. Patrick's Day for a little while longer.

I got this cute little bucket from the Target dollar spot and just had to get one (notice I said only one - it was a frugal day for me, usually I pick up a minimum of five when I get the Target buckets).

The bucket is flled with floral foam and then covered with green "grass", otherwise known as shredded paper.

I picked up the sparkly shamrocks at Michael's. I already had the bucket at that time and figured the shamrocks would come in handy.

The little boy/leprechaun is from Storage Units Ink. They are stamped with palette noir ink and colored with copic markers. I then cut them out and glued them onto lollipop sticks.

To finish is off, I threw some foam shamrocks among the grass to make it a mini field of shamrocks.

Here is a close up of the little leprechauns. This is a super cute set and every time I ink up these stamps, I am so pleased with how they take ink. These are much better quality than some of the clear stamps out there. If you are on the fence, try one set like I did and I bet you will be pleased. I've been tempted by the Easter set but I'm trying to watch my spending so I've been holding off.

March Madness is in full swing and Uconn is off to a rollicking start. GO HUSKIES!!

Trying to watch your spending and the Target $1 spot DO NOT go together.... ask me how I know!
Still if the end result is as adorable as this, then I think its fair to say the ends truly justify the means! This is so cute - almost makes me wish I were Irish :)
