Woven Easter Basket

What a fun project this turned out to be.  This little basket is 4X4X4.  I used a tutorial on You Tube.  It wasn't the best so I am not going to link you.  I struggled a little putting it together but really enjoyed decorating the basket.  This adorable stamp and sentiment are from Hambo Digital Images.  It is called Bailey Easter.  It is a puppy dressed in a bunny outfit.

 This is a close up view of the image and sentiment.

Blog Hop day at Clear Dollar Stamps

Yeah, it's blog hop day!  If you have arrived from Cassie's Blog than you are on the right path.  If you just stopped by to say "hi" today and see what I am up to you will want to start of at the beginning of the hop at the Clearly iStamp Blog.  Because, I'm sure you won't want to miss any of the fun projects that the design team has created for you.  For the month of March our hop has the theme of "spring cleaning".  Well, I kind of thought out of the box on that one.  I thought more about just spring and what that means to me.  I love having a garden all summer long and to start the garden off in the spring is planting.  The beginning of my garden.  So in order to show my love for planting and gardening I choose the set "Bless My Bloomers".  I did hang with the cleaning part of the theme because this is older paper that I haven't used any of so I'm helping to clean my stash. =)
Now you will want to make sure you leave me a comment because I get to choose a random comment and give away the "Bless My Bloomers" set  for free.  How fun is that!  Now to continue on the hop you can go to Lisa's Blog and see her wonderful creativity!  Hope you are enjoying our hop and have a great day!
