Today's hop is all about spring and Easter and we were challenged by Mary to make a project with this theme in mind using one of her wonderful stamp sets. I needed a thank you for a dear friend who helped me with carpooling one of my daughter's to dance team especially to the dreaded early morning practices - I am so spoiled:-) I remembered this great basket tutorial I saw on youtube by StampTV a long time ago and decided to give it a try. You will probably recognize this basket as I have seen it used a lot with different variations. For the video tutorial go here. I made a very simple matching card using only paper, sentiment and a sticker. I filled the basket with some yummy chocolates and a primrose. The stamp set I used is CardzTV stamps "Think Spring" set which is probably my favorite one of Mary's.
I have a bit of blog candy for you today. I do ask that you be a follower and have a U.S. shipping address. Please leave me a comment and a way to get ahold of you too.
Now it is time for you to hop on over to Gloria's blog and I guarantee you will be glad you did. She is so creative!! Have a blessed day and don't forget to play along with the challenge to make a spring/Easter project and post it at CardzTV. Mary will be giving away a stamp set.
Your projects are just beautiful and I love the simplicity of them The flowers look so pretty in the basket. nice gift. TFS
