I used CCR to design and cut the basket out. It was so easy to do! I finally have been able to log in and start playing with it. I used the Paisley, Walk in My Garden and Classic Font cartridges to make the box. I made the completed design fit the entire page, so I don't know exact measurements, but the bottom of the box is 5 1/4 x 5 1/4. The design included the tabs to adhering the box together on the wings of the butterflies. After I cut the entire shaped design out, I copied the butterflies only and cut them separate to attach to the side of the box.</span></div><br />

I used the Paisley cartridge with my Cricut to cut. The embossed cardstock was done using the cuttlebug folder. Sorry my lighting isn't that great.

I am new to this whole blog thing. I really wanted to start a blog to document my paper crafting and card making. I am new to the crafting world and am really enjoying it. There are tons of very talented people that have blogs and looking at them got me inspired to create my own. This is a work in progress. Thanks for stopping by and I will post some crafts ASAP.<br />
