Basket of Joy!


Nichole said,   "This month we're calling all button lovers!"

I certainly fall into that category!  I'm loving all the Easter stuff that I've been seeing, but don't have any Easter stamps. So, I "made it work" by creating an Easter basket out of adhesive-backed cork and filling it with buttons to resemble eggs. The patterned paper was a scrap sheet that I wish I had more of! I stamped the butterfly on a strip of it, ran it upside down through my Xyron, like Nichole showed us how to do one day, and glittered it up with Hero Arts Prisma Glitter! I inked the edges with Spring Rain ink.  A wonderful coincidence is that PTI's medium scallop die is an almost perfect fit for one of the scallops from the Hero Arts set!  Love it when things I have work together!

Thanks for looking - have fun on the hop!
