What a bunch of goodness!!

For my project I decided that since it was beginning to be harvest time around my garden I'd share a tried and true recipe to use up that abundance of tomatoes that you might have. This spaghetti sauce is a staple in my pantry and it also makes a great gift. Here's a gift set I've put together to show off this fabulous set.




The card uses the new WTG image with a basket of tomatoes. There are also apple, peach, and strawberries for her basket and a bunch of great sentiments. The image was stamped on a Perfect Paper Panel with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored with Copic markers and paper pieced.



I love it when I get a gift from someone's kitchen and they include the recipe. So here's a gussied up recipe card with the WTG image. Now, I don't know this lady personally, but I've been using her recipe for years and she knows good spaghetti sauce ;-) The recipe actually came to me from a co-worker--I assume she knows the author, LOL.



I had to make a purty label for the jar, right?



And a tag for the top. I took one of the 'maters from the basket, finished drawing it with a Copic multiliner pen, colored it and added it to the tag.



And finally, here's the inside of the card with a sentiment from the VIP mini set, Garden Goodness.


Other MFT supplies I used are: Whip Cream, Sour Apple, and Red Hot card stock, Twill Ribbon Collection, Open Scallop and Framed Greetings Die-namics Dies, and Earth Girl Buttons.

This set also works for a bunch of the DTGD challenges going on this week at SCS: DTGD10DeborahLynneS, DTGD10peanutbee, DTGD10JeanneS, DTGD10notimetostamp, DTGD10debdeb, DTGD10cindy-haffner. Get the deets here.
