BLOG HOP FUN!!

I am soooo EXCITED it is HERE!!!! The Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!!! It is my first one! No idea what to expect other then alot of FUN and INSPIRATION!! I plan to put dinner in the crock pot and just blog hop away!! I tried to stay off the computer so I wouldnt feel bad being glued to this seat for 2 hours! :) Blog hop starts at 8pm Eastern (5pm for me!)

So the challenge was to make something SPRINGY!! What can be more springy then BASKETS!!! :) I am in LOVE with Lauren Meaders My Timeless Templetes I have 6 of them and cant stop buying them! HA HA!! :)

For this first one I used the patter as it was.. printed it on Sweet Blush CS then I inked the edges with Vintage Cream Ink (on a side note I LOVE this color! oh my!) then put it all together!! I punched the squares with my punch.. added the tiny holes to each scallop to give it a frilly doilyish look! Inked the edges with Sweet Blush Ink... added a scallop border on the bottom (fiskars threading water punch).. Tied Sweet Blush Ribon added some flowers, a stamped sentiment using the NEW Tags for spring set and tada.. a cute little basket!




















Somedays life or in this case a girls PRINTER... gives her LEMONS.. so what is she todo.. make Lemonade!! I couldnt get my printer to print on my CS yesterday.. and I sooo wanted to make another basket! SOOOO I just printed it on reg. printer paper and cut it out, using that as a pattern on my CS..!! Here is ANOTHER version of Laurens basket!!
For this one I used Aqua Mist CS, Ink (inked all edges again!), and ribbon (around candy!) I cut the top down a bit, and didn't add a handle to this one! I added a bit of scallop border (fiskars apron lace punch) punched using the shimmer white CS (this is so pretty! I used it for all my tags too!) added some tiny white flowers, and add liquid pearls all around the top and bottom of the basket!! :) Added the duckie and candy treat.. I know my girl is gonna be taking this from me! :)




















and one more little tiny share.. because sometimes cuteness just HOPS in my basket... I so LOVED this bunny (and the above chicky!) got both at Target in the dollar spot.. HOW do you not get them!!! My dear sweet DH is gonna think I should walk away.. but sometimes a girl NEEDS cuteness! HA HA!! So I stamped up a little tag added it to some candy kisses.. and there ya go cuteness in 5 minutes! and less then $2! :)
