In lieu of today's festivities, I came up with this little number. :)
We've taken a little winter siesta, but the Jiffy Girls are back at it again!
Once a month, a group of my crafty buddies get together Just For Fun (which we've coined our JiFFy Challenge). One of us sends out a stamped image & someone else mails out some patterned paper. We never know what kind of combination we're going to end up with... and that's half the fun!
This month, Carole sent us Echo Park's Madison Plaid from their Little Girl collection. I sent everyone this juicy strawberry (Unity's Sweetest Day) stamp.
This must be the 'in' shade of green this season, because this paper from Cosmo Cricket's Upcycle matched the Echo Park paper perfectly! I made a little seed packet (using this template) and stamped a sentiment from Paper Smooches Vegtastic set.
Speaking of Paper Smooches, Kim Hughes is busy with her new company & won't be able to participate in our Jiffy Challenges any longer. :( But... make sure to check out the other girls' amazing projects using these same basic supplies! It's always so much fun to see everyone's personal style shine through. :)
