Get the party started!!

It's time to narrow the field down to the top 10 in the MM Idol contest. This weeks challenge was to create 3 items for a themed party. Any theme, any item. I created my projects away from home (that's hard when you're not surrounded by the comforts of your scrap room!). I chose to do a Garden Party. My projects included an invitation, a Menu Board (that would be put at each table with flowers etc.) and party favor baskets made out of Making Memories metal frames. I painted the frames green, then added scalloped chipboard frames that I painted white and glittered. I added a monogram in the center of each frame and then put mini brads in the holes around each frame. The frames are connected with a pretty, white sheer ribbon. The handle was made by adhering a Making Memories decorative metal strip to a pretty piece of lace trim, then bending the metal strip into a handle shape and adhering to the frame basket. I hope you enjoy my project. I can totally see a springtime garden party in a gazebo with white tablecloths and some nice music playing. It all looks so nice in my head! lol Enough of my daydreaming...go look at the projects and place your vote!

By the way...do you see the 2 ladybugs on my projects? I thought that was a cute little touch considering the theme.
