Welcome to the Families First Pals Blog Hop for April 2017. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our 2017 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month we are featuring projects that are all about our families. This is a great time of year to think about what to make for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or upcoming graduations. And, family vacations are just around the corner… how would you want to remember those special family moments? We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.
You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below. The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.
I thought a Spring Basket for Mother’s Day would be perfect. So naturally I am going to use the Basket Bunch and the Basket Builder Framelit Die. I am sorry to see this retiring as this set is so versatile. At least the Petal Burst Embossing Folder is staying.
Tips and Tricks
Color: We need spring colors. So lets add to our Crumb Cake basket, Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz, and Sweet Sugar Plum.
- Blushing Bride
- Sweet Sugar Plum
- Crumb Cake
- Pear Pizzazz
Stamp Set: Basket Builder for the main focus and Oh So Succulent for the words.

Ink: This time I stayed with the colors of flowers and leaves. However, the basket was different. I used Early Espresso to bring the lines of the basket.
