So Lucky!

This little leprechaun puts a smile on my face.  As my little boy gets older I am finding more joy in all of the holidays.  Decorating the house and doing fun crafts with him has just been so uplifting.  I have been using all of my cards to decorate my house. I should be sending them out, but no; I hoard them for myself :) I will be entering this card in a few challenges - Celebrate the Occasion "Luck of the Irish", BBTB2 "So Lucky Shamrock", Craft with Cutters "Irish Eyes are Smiling", and Die Cuttin Diva's "Try A Sketch".  I think we all know where "Darby O'Gill" comes from, the Simply Charmed cart.  The shamrocks are cut from Designer's Calendar.  I used the embossing folder Quatrefoil for the three smaller mats.  I inked around the edges with ColorBox Creamy Brown Chalk Ink, and used dimensionals to pop up my image.  Hope everyone has a Happy "Green on Seventeen" as my 4 year old now calls it.
