When Melissa sent me these, I got an idea and just ran with it.

It's a May Day Basket using the freebie Flower Pot with today's purchase:

(click for better detail)

 

The basket stands about 7 inches tall from the base to the top of handle and 5 inches wide.
The container inside is 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches. 

I printed the image off twice after creating a mirror image with Photoshop.

After coloring I attached each image to two more pieced of card stock for stability 

and cut out. The container is trough like I cut out a 8 1/4 x 2 3/4 strip of paper

and scored down the length of both side in 1/8 in. 

I also scored the width at 3 1/2  and 4 3/4, 

at these score lines I made snips that met up with the length wise score lines.

Make sense?

I attached the container about 1/8th of an inch from the base

using a glue based adhesive. It's narrow at the bottom but widens like a v

towards the top. 

It's plenty big because of the depth of the container.

As an after thought I found a bunch of Bloomin Doodles rub-ons. 

I even placed them on the buttons for fun.

The handle is very basic, its a 12 in by 2 1/2 strip with a 12 x  3/4 in strip and 

layered again with a 12 inches strip of ribbon.

To conceal the frayed edges of the ribbon I affixed 

a solid black floral die cut that emulated the flowers in the digi

and topped it off with a button.

I apologize for not snapping pictures, that is so much easier to follow vs my blabbering!
