Best way to spend a rainy day....

or any day for that matter.

My goddaughter Maren

came and spent the night.

We had a nice dinner

(thanks to my hubby for cooking!),

I fixed her scrapbook that needed extender posts added

(she likes pop-dots, too! Wonder where she got that from?!)

and she fixed my earrings.

We played a game of Scrabble

and then this morning after breakfast

we made moustaches

 

We cut them out using the Artiste cartridge from Close to My Heart

stamped it from the Closet to my Heart  Perfect Fit-Dad.

Hot glued a chopstick that we first covered in decorative washi tape

and wha-la: instant moustache!

 

Then we made

 these ADORABLE picnic baskets...

 

I got the template at

Creations by AR

It was super easy to cut out and put together.

The paper of course is Chantilly

and the handle and flowers were cut

using our Close to My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge.

I did not use the handle from the template---

I cut a border strip from the AP cartridge and it worked perfectly!

 



 

These would make beautiful Easter baskets

or decorations for a spring shower

Ladies tea

or mother and daughter luncheon...

maybe reduce it just a tad for a little bit of

chocolate...!

Maybe have one side open

with some moss and flowers spilling out...?!

It is cold, rainy and dreary here at the beach

so I think a good book, a nap

and maybe even making a few more baskets

is on my afternoon schedule.

 

Until next time,

happy stamping and scrapping!

Blessings,
