This is soooooooo weird......Beeeeeeeeee cause, I thought I had already posted this basket, but then could not find it on my blog ( has anyone else seen it?)....This was a basket I made for STAMP CAMP with my SU UPUP lines' group last friday.....I cased it from Angie...LOVE the whole handle idea!.....but, would be super duper cute in ANY paper...for ANY occasion...depending on the stamp set used......Both sets here are from the latest Sale-a-bration SU event!
Anyhoo...if it had not been for Laura's most awesome helper-bee skills, I never would have been able to teach this to the 100 stampers that came!!....thats why SHE is a SGT!!!!
I am sooooooooo behind ( again!!!)...with my projects...but, probably due to the bug that visited me the past couple of weeks!
Beeeeeeeee sure to CHECK out my ETSY shop...where I am selling some cards made by CARDSFORHEROS.ORG contributors for FUNDRAISING efforts to help pay for mailing....ALSO, I have listed a few scissor charms, which went over quite well at stamp camp....I designed them to be able to be used for assorted sized scissors ( scrapping & sewing)...PLUS a really COOL BEANS tool made for me by Mr. Lowes...to have hands free while using your heat gun!!!
Sooooooo, now I am off to CATCH-UP with some scrapbook pages for CIVITAN...and some more projects for Connie in Canada!
oh.......BTW....one more to check out....is my dd Joy's BLOG....she is BRAND NEW to blogger land....I cannot wait for you to see what she is making for her NEW ETSY SHOP ( opening soon!!)

The handle was made with some coordinating ribbons...vintage & new....tied by punching thru the tin with my Crop-a-dile...yummy, like butter!

The sweet little matching set of 3 x 3 noties were wonder-undered onto card stock, and handstamped with assorted sentiments.
