Teacher Appreciation-Flowered Cake Pops in a Basket

Hi everyone!

Just a quick post to share with you the teacher appreciation goody I put together.  I think it turned out so cute! Better than I imagined.  I cut the flowers (3 1/2") with my Expression using the George and Basic Shapes cartridge.  I slipped the wrapped cake pops in the center of the flowers and stuck them in a basket that had a foam block in it covered with Spanish moss.  (p.s. I bought the basket, foam block and spanish moss at the dollar tree, shhhh, k?) There are 25 cake pops in the basket. 

I cut the hand from the Sentimental cartridge at 6".  I used a little bling on the card to give it some sparkle.  I taped the card to a wooden skewer and stuck it also in the basket.  What an awesome edible flower arrangement with card and all!




I will be entering my creations in the following challenges: Fantabulous Challenge Me Monday #59 Teacher Feature.  The challenge is to make something for that special teacher and it must have the color red in it.  The next challenge is My Craft Spot Monday Challenge #7 Bling It Up - that challenge is self explanatory. I found another challenge this qualifies for.so I entered: More Than Favors-Wacky Wednesday #38 - Anything Goes!

Make sure and let me know what you think. Your comments make me smile :)
