And here’s my well preserved project for today:
4 quart jars of salsa that I made earlier this fall. I fell in love with this basket when I saw it at Wal-Mart and I picked up a few of them. The ribbons are 7/8″ Gingham in Red and Green. One of my Circle Nesties was the perfect size to make a circle to fit so nicely inside the lid/ring. All papers used are from Garden Variety by Cosmo Cricket – 6×6 – $5.99.
Just a very simple tag stamped with JustRite’s Give Thanks Nested Frames and Occassions – $14.95, used on the Clear Rectangle Stampers – $23.95, stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink, tied onto the basket with 1/8″ Jute Cording.
All items available from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.
