Hey Chick!

Hey, everyone!

I realize Valentine's Day was only a few days ago and St. Patrick's Day isn't even here yet, and I am not one to rush the seasons; I feel they come and go fast enough as it is. However, I have a project that I want to share with you. It's really fun and actually turned out differently than I originally planned! Ever have those kinds of projects? But this turned out pretty cute, anyway, I think! LOL

This is my little Easter Basket! I think it would be so cute with some Easter grass and eggs...my friend Christina suggested putting hair accessories, socks, and other small gifts inside. How fun! I think I will!!!

This is the basket on the side. I placed a coordinating piece of cardstock on the ends to hide the side flaps.

I used some really fun paper from the Tutti Frutti SWIC paper pack (V-826). The piece I had left over was 8"x8" and I scored it with my Scor-Pal (F-358) at 1" and 7" on one side and then at 3" and 5" on the other side. I stamped the chicken and sentiment from the Hey Chick stamp set (T-2260) in Burnt Sienna Hybrid Palette Ink (TT-197). I colored it in using my Tombow markers (brights F-01) and added shading with the gray Tombow marker (F-07). The circle is punched with the Super Jumbo Circle Clever Lever Punch (D-73) and the orange cardstock is punched out using the Mega Scalloped Circle Clever Lever Punch (D-700). The holes on each scallop were made with a paper piercer (G-702). The scalloped circle layer is raised up using the Circle Pop It! Pop Dots (D-89) found in the catalog.

Thanks for coming to hang out with me today! I hope you enjoyed the project. It was fast and easy to put together. I hope you will make some, too! Have a great day!

Hugs,
