Creations by AR Blog Hop-Baskets!

Welcome to the Creations by AR March New Release Blog Hop! 
Win this basket template!



Today all the design team will be showing you their version of the new template, My Picnic Basket.

I cut this template out of kraft cardstock and then stamped it with a basket weave stamp that I won as a blog candy gift  several years ago (here at Flourish stamps)-a perfect match for this basket file. I also inked the edges of the basket sides to define them a little more.
I did not add a thing to this basket except a cute little red gingham paper lining of which I guess is top secret since I forgot to take a pic darn it!!!(and do you like my little plates and forks? hehehe)

This template was too cute to stop at just one!


With this basket I used double sided designer paper so there was no need to line it(template comes with a liner piece)-it was already done!
Sorry for the challenged picture...just wanted you to see the inside...

 And then I added some pretty flowers that matched my My Minds Eye On the Bright Side(Floral)designer paper...very fun!

Ta-dahhhhhh!

If you would like to win this template from Creations by AR-hop along and leave comments on each blog for  more chances. You can leave a comment on Creations by AR's Facebook page and the Paper Craft Planet group for even more chances(comments accepted until March 24th 9am PST)!  Remember-you do not have to have a cutting machine to use Adela's templates, each file includes a PDF file that you can use should you do scissor cutting.

I hope you will join in the fun by starting with Adela and ending with Sue M!

    Oh my, simply beautiful! I think I would be making a lot of these and giving them to all my girlfriends for their birthdays! Imagine how you can decorate them to go with whatever you had decided to put inside, and individualise them for each one. So excited about your new template. Thanks for sharing. Charmain

    Your stamped kraft basket is amazing. I bet the red checked paper on the inside finished it off perfectly. Your second basket is beautiful!!! I can really see how addictive this fun template is.
