Here is my project!!

I decided that since I have been getting myself ready for my Housewarming Party, and I created my invites, and decorations, that I would continue that theme!!

So, here is my project:

And I started putting it together! Wait til you scroll down to see what it looks like!!!

 Another picture of it coming together!!!

ALL COMPLETE!!!

 Can't have a picnic basket with out your utensils!

Notice the Stickles on the food! I tried to go for the greasy look on the chicken, LOL!

 The mustard Stickles have to be my favorite part! It looks SO REAL!!! I hope you can see this from the picture!

 I think the big I'M HUNGRY will let everyone know that this is where all the food will be!

I went for a Picnic Basket EXPLOSION of food!!!

************LinkingUp with PINK CRICUT LINK UP PARTY**********

 For my project today, here are the cartridges I used:

Life's A Party

Party Picks and Pennants

Fast Food Lite

I also used my gypsy to help with all the pieces!

~I used my Close To My Heart Stamp set to create LET'S EAT which I stamped in Red (which as you can tell was my theme color)

~Stickles for all the details! You REALLY want your details to shine!!! No pun intended!!

~Floral Styrofoam for the inside of the "basket" to hold the pieces in place! This Basket is actually of the Life's a Beach cartridge! And guess what it was...? The Treasure chest! I cut it as big as my Cricut would allow me to, which I believe was 9.25.

~I used bamboo skuers to HOT GLUE the images to!Then, I poked them through the foam in the basket! I also hot glued more of the images to the skuer and then to the top of the I'M HUNGRY sign!

~I alternated the food images (all cut from the Fast Food Lite cartridge) in different sizes. I ranged from 3.0-5.0 in the different items! I arranged them into no particular order, just in the order I liked best!

~I used the Party Picks and Pennants craft room file to create the sign that said "LETS EAT"! I thought we needed something else to say HEY FOOD HERE!!! LOL!

So, now you are on to grab some blog candy back HERE!!!

I hope you had a TON of fun!
