it's all about Easter baksets

Good Friday morning everyone! For the first time in a couple of weeks the week went quickly. Yay! How has your week been? I hope it has been great!

Today is the 6th of the month so what does that mean? Yep, it is limeLIGHT Papercrafts project day. Each month I get the chance to make a fun project with limeLIGHT products and show it to you. This month is Easter Baskets! While I had a great time making this basket I did struggle a little to get to that point. But...that is behind me now and I get to show you my cutie! So...on with the show...

I made this basket with Chocolate Box Chocolate Chip Mint card stock from Core'dinations. Along with that I used the super cute Edible Easter Border stamp from Stampendous for the ends which I layered on the green side of the Chocolate box card stock. I then just added some grosgrain ribbon, brads, a "smiles" stamp on the handle and some doodling around the edges and voila! A cute Easter Basket! Do you see the cute little bunny inside the basket? Well, it is one of those that you pull back and then let go...when you let go the bunny's little bottom goes back and forth...too cute!

Oh, and listen to this little bit of happiness directly from Mandy...

With each and every order (regardless of amount) through Easter Sunday, Limelight will be sending out a plastic Easter egg filled with goodies! They could be filled with ribbon, stickers, Cat’s Eye ink pads, small stamps, buttons, Dew Drops, Shimmerz, and more! A few will have some “big prizes” written on slips of paper! There will be no rhyme or reason to which egg goes in an order. We’ll keep it as random as humanly possible!

Doesn't that sound fantastic? If you are like me you love a deal on shipping too. Mandy's shipping is just $5 on each order AND she ships faster than just about any company that I have ever dealt with. As a matter of fact I can place an order on Monday and I typically have it Tuesday or Wednesday. Crazy great, huh?!

Sooooo...what are you waiting for? Go check out limeLIGHT! And, have a super Friday!

**Edited to add...I've been asked if I have a template for this basket and I do not. I saw one like this on another blog (don't recall whose blog though) and just made mine a bit bigger. It is an 8x8 piece of card stock scored at 2" and 6" and then 2" and 6" the other way. Then on two of the opposite facing sides cut up the the box bottom on the score line. After which you can fold your basket in anyway you wish. I hope this makes sense!**

***Ack! How fun...my Easter Basket got a mention on Card of the Week.com! Thanks Susanna!***
