Fourth of July Picnic Basket

July 8, 2013 by Rebecca Wagner 9 Comments

 

Yes, I know the Fourth was a few…erm….four days ago exactly, but seeing as I haven’t posted a crafty project in more than a month I hope you will forgive me. Things have been very hectic especially with the sudden, unexpected death of my father-in-law in April. Prayerfully things will slow down and I can get back to crafting. But some ideas just won’t leave till you make them. I had this swimming around in my head ever since I guest designed for the latest issue of CuttingEdge Magazine.

Creations by AR is their guest designer for the July/August edition and it was a privilege to work with her cutting pieces. Adela has some very nice 3D cutting files. Even though I make more cards than anything else, I have a soft spot for any three dimensional project. That’s why when I made her picnic basket I knew it would be perfect with a July Fourth theme. Check it out!

 
My other excuse for not getting this up before the fourth is because I couldn’t find my paper. I had won the Americana set by K & Company last year from a contest on Create for Less. Well, they forgot to send it to me so I got it sometime in September. I then put it is a “safe” place to use this year. With all the hullabaloo going on I misplaced it, only to find it once again after the holiday. DOH! So there is my little confession, I am very forgetful.
 
Did you see my twine fireworks? At least that is what they are supposed to look like. Did you guess that was what it was? I used my Clover Extra Small Pom Pom Maker and flattened them out to look like bursts. The Stars & Stripes Trendy Twine was just too perfect not to add to this project. What do you think, did my 
idea fall flat or was it a stroke of genius? ;P Let me know in the comments.
 
Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!
