Happy Birthday MOM

Hi Friends

Today is the Paper Pros Challenge and the theme this time is Spring Fever.  I was totally inspired by a basket that I saw on Karen Burniston's Pop Up Peeps.  It was made and shown by Jessie Adams.  She made this wonderful basket so I just had to make one for my MOM's birthday which was Sunday. I filled mine with spring goodies. 

She was 92.  She loved it.

After cutting the Woven Basket Die panels 4 times, I wove them and put them together, holding them in place with a solid bottom that I cut using my electronic die cutter. I used strips of paper for the inside that were made to fit the basket and then added the grass pieces to them.  I made a handle for the basket by adding a border from the new Border Blends. 

When my basket was all assembled, I added lots of flowers, cupcakes and ice  cream cones.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing this creation and try to think outside the box when using your dies.

See you soon,
S@ndy

Only One Month To Go!

Hello my friends,

I live in sunny Arizona where we are not use to colder weather.  I will admit that it could be much worse, like in Illinois or New York, but for us - it is cold.  I am so looking forward to Spring.  The official start of Spring is March 20th, also our sons birthday, and I can't wait.  I made a card for just such an occasion.  I've used some great dies from the latest release from Karen Burniston which are all linked below. I've also used some fun stamps from Art Impressions.

ENJOY  (come on Spring)

  Instead of using the pop up portion of this die set in a tag album, I used it inside a bigger card.  After cutting out the middle of the two center circles I was able hang some of the Garden Charms.

Stay Warm,
S@ndy
