Delivering May Baskets While It's Sleeting

It's hard to believe that we were working ground, planting and spraying in three fields just yesterday when we have snow tonight with 6-9" possible!  

What it looked like when I was delivering May Day baskets.

I had been thinking about doing May Day baskets off and on and then saw some ideas for some on Miss Spenser's blog yesterday.  I liked the idea of making them out of cans (like pineapple, green beans, etc.) since I had a couple of empty ones in recycling I could use.  Also, in my stamping tools, I have a Crop-A-Dile that will punch holes through anything.

I just used one sheet of 12 x 12 designer paper to cover both cans.  I attached it with sticky strip so it would hold.  I punched 2 holes in each can to tie the ribbon handles through.  Then I used my Beautiful Wings Embosslit to cut out several sizes of butterflies (color is Summer Starfruit).  I added some pearls to one butterfly and a rhinestone to another, then attached them to the covered can with glue dots.  I made a tag with the Extra Large Oval Punch and the Scallop Oval Punch and wrote Happy May Day!   All products used were Stampin' Up!  Order any time through my web site - above right.

One is for our neighbors and one for Lacey and Camry.   The only thing wrong was that it was sleeting when I went to deliver them!  We went from working ground and planting corn yesterday to getting 6-9" of snow today!  A couple of days ago I was getting the screened porch ready for the summer!

Filled and ready to deliver.
