Thank You Basket

I carpool to work with two other co-workers. Recently my son has had to use my car so Korene has had do extra turns at driving. So as a thank you to her I made her this little Thank You Basket. I bought the basket at the dollar store (two baskets for $1). I also bought a small votive candle holder to put in the middle of the basket. I filled the basket and the candle holder with M & M's. I cut the flowers from the Walk in My Garden Cricut cartridge. I used the Daisy flower and cut them at 2 1/2" along with their shadow. I used some paper I had on hand to cut the flowers and yellow and purple card stock to cut the shadows. I adhered the flowers to Pixie Stix that I got at the dollar store as well. I cut a tag at 3" using the Gypsy Wandering font. Thanks was cut from the Wild Card Cartridge at 2 3/4" using some scraps of paper I had on hand. I also lightly inked the edges of tag using some Rosebud Memento ink. The pink ribbon I used for the bow is also from the dollar store. I will be giving it to her tomorrow and I am sure she will love it. Thanks for looking.

  7. I loved it so much on the MB I had to see what you used for the stems. They have changed the packaging I think since I was young enough to consome them lol. The buttons are a fabulous touch. TFS : ).
