...mmmm Chocolate Orange Easter Parade






Didn't realise that the Mojo Monday folks run a project parade!!!! thought I'd tune in this week and add a wee Easter project to the parade!! I apologise that I don't actually have any Verve stamps BUT hoping to rectify that soon!!! (what sets to buy??? some beauties to choose from).

Anyhow made up one of my baskets in Chocolate and Orange (if you fancy having a go, check the link in my sidebar for the Octagon Easter Basket, I put a template on SCS so's you can get it any time you need to.)

OOOOhh and isn't satin ribbon a marvellous way to find out how rough your dishwashing hands really are!!

Hope it tickles!!!

All supplies are PTI - stamps are from the With Sympathy set and Journalling lines. Vintage cream and melon berry inks.

  17. I just made a prototype of the basket to use for Holy Saturday Lunch. My heritage is Portuguese and our family has always baked specialty breads to break the fast. My adult children and their spouses, my mother, and my aunt and uncle will be travelling home, so I need 11 baskets. Thanks you so much for making this a 'do-able' project with your template. Mine won't be as beautiful as yours, but they will impress!
