Is anyone out there still canning, or freezing or drying your summer harvest? Or is anyone preparing those previously preserved goodies for Thanksgiving or Christmas gifts? Today is all about preserving our fruits of the harvest. Take this food related theme wherever it brings you -- use food type stamps, papers or embellishments on a card, decorate a jar of canned goods, or even wrap and decorate a chocolate bar -- we're easy! Let's just see some lovely fruits, veggies or any type of edible in today's creations!!!
Well I can't have a garden in my backyard because of all the critters in the neighborhood. We are right beside the river and lots of green space so there are rabbits, and deer and skunks and raccoons and who know what all else. I would have to have a fence that no-one could scale.Anyway... I decided to decorate this jar of grape jam for our neighbors and make some muffins to go along with it.
I wrapped a piece of plain parchment paper around the jam jar and then decorated a piece of kraft card stock with a grape image from PTI. I used vibrant violet stazon ink and ripe avocado for the vines and leaves.
I cut out a circle from a Spellbinders die and added the grape image as well as what is in the jar.
Put this together with a lovely buttermilk muffin and there you have a nice little treat!!
Check out Sharon's site HERE for all the delicious details and play along.... I would love to see what you come up with***
