Thanks to all the SPS gals for sending me the pattern to make the basket and strawberries. I sent out e-mails, expecting I might get one response from the 6 gals -- and every one of them responded with help!!! Only on SCS will you find this!! In case you missed the other baskets made, these are made out of paper (0ne of my baskets used the new Poly-Twill Ribbon also); and the strawberries hold 2 Hershey Kisses. Yes, they were a challenge to make but I really needed them for my presentation at our Spring Fling Demo get together last Saturday. Our Theme for the meeting was a Tea Party -- so of course I had to have these for my center piece. In the next couple of days I will be uploading my other projects. I hope you like! And thanks again to all the gals on SCS for the strawberry template (prepared by Sherry Brickey) and the Basket Turorial (prepared by Laura of wishyouwerehere-laura.blogspot.com)!!

Thanks Lisa!! Actually the baskets do not take long if you stick to it (no pun intended). I have a hard time staying focused on my projects so tend to stop half-way through, then come back late to finish. My 2nd basket went really fast as I knew everything would work (I was skeptical at first). And yes, the pictures do not portray what they look like IRL. When I showed them at my meeting, nobody new they were paper baskets until I told them (for real!!). And they loved the strawberries. Thanks again, Sandi

Sandi looks like you are going to have a full time project sending out strawberry instructions. I was there people and these were to die for. They were so real like and her baskets you could not tell they were made of paper. Sandi works hard on her projects and always puts alot or work into them to make them perfect. I am not just saying that because she is my sister but because a few years back when she started she had never done anything crafty in this line of work. With all the right tools of stampinup she has created the most beautiful things. I would be proud to case her work out their anytime. Good job Sandi keep going. I am in your shadow but it keeps me focused.

Sandi, These are amazing. I would love the template for the strawberries as well. Strawberries are my favorite fruit in season! And chocoate is my absolute favorite food!
