My Peeps Offering....

Hi All! Just wanted to share a couple of little Easter baskets I made for my kids.


 There's a great tutorial for this basket here. I changed the dimensions up just a little, and managed to get one basket from a single sheet of double-sided patterned paper.  I used papers from Close To My Heart's Penelope collection for both boxes. (Love these Spring-y colors and patterns.) The sentiment and Peeps bunnies are from the My Kind of Peeps stamp set by Simon Says Stamp. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the Peeps, which I added to mini clothes pins from my stash and clipped to the baskets. The Peeps and sentiments are stamped on Close To My Heart's White Daisy cardstock in Canary, Pixie, Thistle, and Pear inks.

Here are a couple of collages of close ups:



I added the handles with brads and then covered them with gold and silver puffy stickers. (I used my ShinHan Marigold marker to color in the center of the silver flower puffy stickers.) I also added a back to the bunny, and used Diamond Stickles to add highlights.

Here's a second look:


Hope you enjoyed this little project!

Have a wonderfully Happy EASTER!!!
