Happy Mother's Day!


 



I made this little basket for a neighbor/friend of mine for Mother's day. I filled it with lemon shortbread cookies as she loves anything lemon flavored.
I found the tutorial to make the basket HERE.

I used strips of SU! designer papers with pretty flowers to make the basket and found snippets of matching colors and punched a few flowers, adding Nuvo pink drops to the centers. The sentiment was heat-embossed with white ep on a snippet of black and cut with a SU! word window punch. I added a piece of pink sheer ribbon to tie it all up for a cute little gift for Mother's day.

I'll share this with the Snippets Playground Challenge #454 which is always to use your snippets.

Also sharing with the Allsorts Challenge #728 - A/G - embellish it

and the Sisterhood of Crafters challenge - Flowers

Wishing all the Moms, grandmoms and great grandmoms out there a very happy Mother's day today! I hope you all do something to make your day special!

    I've never seen a little basket like that and it's precious - with just the right patterned paper for it too. I know the cookies will be delicious so this little gift will be very well received! Love it!
