WELCOME SPRING and BLOG HOPPERS!

Welcome to the Artful INKables blog hop! We are celebrating the March release at Artful INKables with 4 wonderful sets and a super fun new mini set!

If you haven't come here from ANN's Blog, be sure to hop on over to the Artful INKables Blog, you don't want to miss anything for today's hop!

It was so wonderful to have a little taste of spring this weekend! I got a little bit of yard work done in hopes of doing some planting soon.  In the mean time I got in the spirit of things by making these spring time projects with a new set called IN  MY GARDEN. 
I adore this set, I can see using it over and over for so many different things!
The set seemed perfect for some shabby, vintage looking projects so I made a card and a little gift basket to tuck some treats or maybe a few packs of flower seeds.

The basket was super easy to make, the instructions were found HERE
Make sure to comment on every one's blog, because two lucky commenters will win some AI stamps! One will win In My Garden and Epic Tales, and the other will win Peacock Pagentry and Paisleys & Peacocks. Please leave your comments by Thursday, March 25th, 12 midnight Eastern Standard Time.

    This is a beautiful basket and a answer to my prayer. I have been looking for a basket to use for church. This is perfect. Thanks for sharing where to find the information on how to make this beauty. I love the punch and the way you made the handle. The stamp is cute as can be and I know I will be ordering me one asap. Thanks again for sharing!!!
