Mini Easter Basket

Happy Wednesday everyone !! 

*****Warning Lots of Photos :)******

Today I am stopping by to share a mini Easter basket I made . 

I actually made it using leftover cuts from other projects I am working on .

I made these fun little carrot boxes for my Hot Egg Balloon project , and I made a couple too many . I also made a large fence box ,but  I ended up using the smaller one . I recently purchased some new tinsel glitter and flocking ( I couldn't wait to use it ) and added that to my grass . 

I had lots of fun creating this . 

I hope you enjoy and feel inspired to create .

A close up of the ribbon braid I used to decorate the handle I made

I wasn't sure if I liked my little chocolate bunny 

out or tucked in the basket .

Today I am happy to share two projects with you . 

One of these is for BBTB2 , 

it is the start of a new challenge and 

our theme this week is St. Patrick's Day ! 

The second is a card I made for
Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog 
and
Craftin ' Desert Divas! 

When I first began to blog , I only had my Cricut ( which I love ) .
I was hoping to find a Cricut based community to share my love of Cricut with .
I found it in Fantabulous Cricut and in
 Bitten by the Bug 2 and Exploring Cricut blogs.
I was hooked on these , I would try to create something every week following the themes .

 I have used my Cricut in the past year more times than I would have imagined !!! 

I am truly happy and grateful to have found these blogs !!
I was very honored when I was invited to be a guest designer on FCCB !! 

This week the challenge is to follow a sketch. I am not too good with sketches , but hey practice makes perfect !! At CDD we are in our second week of our 

" Birthday Linky Party " !!

I decided to combine the sketch and the birthday theme to create my birthday card !
