Love makes it all grow...

Sprout2 
It seems like it was just yesterday that my mom and I were planning our garden. I loved to plant it but weeding was a different story.  We would spend hours picking and canning all our veggies.  This past summer my daughter and I planned our garden and so the tradition continues. 
This adorable image is Sprout from Mo's Digital Pencil.  This week's challenge over at Mo's is to create a card with distressing. I distressed each edge of my cardstock and then also used distress inks to sponge around each piece. 
 
Sprout1.
I picked out some Scrabble tiles from an old game my kids used to have.  Many pieces were missing but luckily LOVE remained.  I used some beautiful vine ribbon from May Arts and created some rolled flowers with ribbon.  I designed my own paper with the word love on some Kraft and printed it out. 
Check out what the rest of the team created:

    This is adorable, Dawn! Great use of those leftover Scrabble tiles, and I love your rolled ribbon roses. I wish mine would turn out as beautifully as yours!! I also wish we could have a garden here, but our property is just the wrong shape/form and we have too many critters who would obliterate everything long before harvest time. Sigh. I guess there's always the farmer's market!!

    Your creativity is over the top!! Wow, this card is amazing in all its details...your handcrafted BG, the awesome rolled flowers and ribbon vine, beautifully colored image and scrabble tiles for part of the sentiment! I grew up learning to can and freeze veggies from our family garden. I do very little of it today...kinda hard with working full time - lol!

    Dawn, how beautiful you have colored this little sweetie, and the scrabble tiles are perfect. Funny I ordered a set of scrabble tiles on ebay and got multiples of all the letters except there was no V letters...LOL glad you kids left you the love.
