A Baby Boy's Easter Basket

Our projects at My Sheri Crafts this week is all about spring's pastel colors. Easter is coming soon, and I want to be well-prepared for it, considering that it's my little boys' first. I altered a $5 basket from WM using cuts from my Cricut cartidges. The Easter greetings was cut at 2" and the egg measures 4", both are from the Easter cartridge. The lamb, chick and bunny were all from the Create-A-Critter cartridge, and all three measure 2". The eggs that I used as a base were also from the Easter cartridge and were cut at 3".
For those who are curious as to what's inside the basket-- I have a chick and bunny Weebles, a book with the title "Where Are Baby's Easter Eggs", some soft balls (football, baseball and football), and a couple of toy attachment for the exersaucer.
I used paper from DCWV, Bazzill, Basic Grey and GCD Studios. I added some ink along the edges, chalk and googly eyes to give the cuties their own personalities.
