At some point I aim to be organised enough to actually post pictures of my creations before the event happens rather than weeks after the occasion. In the meantime it is nice to have a record of the various things and functions I have created for this year. It has certainly been a busy first half of the year (although we have another 6 weeks before that point I guess) and time continues to fly!
So today I wanted to show you the treat baskets I made for the family at Easter. I used Papertrey Ink papers, inks and dies to create these cute little baskets. I chose the pastel colours to match the zig zag paper I managed to pick up sometime a couple of years ago.
I used the flower and zig zag dies to create decorations for the front and stamped them with the basket weave stamp and a little 'Happy Easter' stamp. On the back I couldn't resist the 'handmade for you' stamp that came with the easter eggs stamp.
Then I made some little cards with eggs on them cut from the dies and used one of the little frame dies and matching stamp in coordinating colours.
I ended up using these as decorations on the plates with the serviettes for lunch.
When Mum came on Easter day she brought me a lovely flower arrangement in a cracked egg vase which took pride of place in the centre of the table!
Everything looked very festive in the end! And there was just room in those little baskets for some Easter treats of chocolate eggs.
Perfect for celebrating Easter with the family.
