The Luck O the Irish




So I saw months ago on Fly Through Our Window the cutest little stamped onesies, and since I am not so secretly dying to own a YuDu I thought I would give it a go for St. Patty's day.. In typical Summer style... I bought all the craft supplies, but stalled out at buying shirts because the cheapest places to get them are Wal-mart.. which I almost never go to, or Target.. which I totally avoid like the plague because I am a complete sucker for all their marketing ploys. .

Anyways.. at 11:00 pm last night, I crept into the kids closets while they slept to find some shirt to make ST. P's because there was no way I was traipsing out to Wally World at that hour.

I used these awesome clear acrylic stamps that I found for $1 a set at AC Moore, and just double stick taped them to some building blocks because I don't have any of their fancy acrylic blocks. I quick ironed the freezer paper on the inside of the shirts to keep the paint from going through.
I used a sponge brush to paint the So Soft fabric paint on the stamp and stamped away. I was in bed before midnight! So this totally beats the buns off Valentine's Day with it's buttonhole drama in the easy department.

I think they are pretty durn cute.. but it probably helps that I think the kids are cute to start with!

I love those! Very clever. I would like one for myself. :) STOP shopping at Wal MArt! It is evil. That's all. Happy Green Beer Day!
