Heart Shaped Basket

This is my lavender and lace heart shaped basket for the challenge at Joan's Garden's......

I had to "print" mine on some rather flimsie cardstock, as my printer (that I really do love).....

will not accept my better quality cardstock.....

but what's a girl to do??

I added some lace to the edge...used my small Hydrangea punch for flowers.....

and added "bling" centers...

the leaves were cut with a Sizzix die......

I also opted to use gingham ribbon (my favorite) for my handle.....

I made one of these heart baskets about a year ago for Valentines Day.....

if I didn't have it nicely packed away, I would show you that one, too!

I added some shredded paper to help the cardstock "behave"...

I have 2 more of these printed.....

if I have time I will finish then for the challenge as well!
