It feels good to be back on here. It is like visiting an old friend! I have been feeling less than creative lately and most of my energy has been focused on work and our home renovation which I am finding a little overwhelming (all the decisions). Anyway, I could not resist this weeks challenge over at JUGS. It is template week and this weeks challenge has been sponsored by Clear & Simple Stamps. Just pop onto their blog and find the FREE templates in their sidebar. I picked the Apple Basket designed by Sue Berker. It will make a great year end teacher gift. I just wish I could find those sweet little wooden handles locally!
Since I had no suitable stamps or embellishments, I went in search of the perfect apple. I found a template for a card designed by Imprintables for Real Living Magazine. I just downsized it and covered it with my patterned paper.
I have to say though that those little Riesen chocolates were a very bad idea. I have single handedly polished off every single one of them.
Adorable apple basket. You did a fabulous job with the template. Clear and Simple Stamps sells the little wooden handles online. I suppose shipping costs are expensive to you, though. Thanks for the "shout-out".
ReplyDeleteYou decorated this basket beautifully!

ReplyDeleteYour basket is absolutely adorable! LOL about the candy. I always try and work with little goodies that I don't like to eat (but that usually never works!) Love it- super cute!
ReplyDelete(also, CSS does flat rate $6.50 shipping anywhere in the world, and free shipping over $60....)
