Hi everyone!  I'm sharing a project over at Craftin Desert Diva's today!  I've had such a great time using the Tara's new stamps.  They are so fun and versatile!  With Easter being right around the corner, I thought this sentiment from the Punny stamp set would be perfect to pair up with a little Easter basket!  You can purchase the stamps HERE.  I got the basket from the Silhouette Store and the bunny is from KaDoodle Bug Designs.  I hope you enjoyed my project!  Thanks for looking and have a great day!
