When I signed up for this swap I thought decorating a yogurt container sounded easy but it was quite a challenge for me. I'm not a sewer and I wanted to accomplish this challenge using my medium of choice...paper, which was interesting to work with on the slippery tapered yogurt containers. In the end, I was pleased with my results and absolutely thrilled with the baskets I received!
First up is Lynne of A Romantic Nest. Her basket for me was wonderfully cute and polka dottie...
I love paper flowers of any kind and Lynne gifted me with pink roses large and small. She also included some cute crafting supplies that will be fun to work with....
and the sweetest little felt blue bird...thanks Lynne, I love it all!
My basket for Lynne (who loves bunnies)...
My other partner was Heather of Speckled-Egg and Speckled-Egg Store
Her Easter basket to me...covered with florists foil and trimmed out in vintagey beauty..
lots of supplies from her store to have fun with...
Thanks Heather, I really enjoyed being partners with you for the second time!
My basket for Heather....coffee anyone?
A combination of natural color and white coffee filters made a ruffley Easter basket. I trimmed it out with velvet ribbon and a vintage pearl clip earring
I made some paper flowers for Heather and die cut some birds, chick and bunnies...
Heather enjoys making jewelry so I included a vintage bakelite necklace thinking she might want to cut it apart and use the beads for her own projects.
