Inspired By #24

Welcome to another Inspired By challenge.  We have been having such warm weather here (finally... it was such a terrible spring so far) I am starting to get the 'bug' for summer.  Although I don't like the heat, I sure do like the fresh fruit and veggies.  Strawberries are one of my favorites and I was really drawn to this inspiration photo.



What can you do with this inspiration? Obviously strawberries but also the colors, the jars - a trend right now, the basket, foliage...

I decided to go with the strawberries.  On the weekend I was out garage saleing and thrift store shopping.  I first picked up the wooden rolling pin and basket at a garage sale for next to nothing!  I then saw the plate at a thrift store and I knew exactly what I was going to do.  I stopped and picked up a strawberry plant on the way home and then went right to work.  I painted the handles of the rolling pin then covered it with some Nikki Sivils Audrey paper.  I got out one of my many (although dwindling) white cloth napkins and used some PTI stamp sets to stamp on it.  I finished it all off with a 'feel better berry soon' card.  Wouldn't this, along with some yummy strawberries, make a nice little gift for someone who is not feeling well.  I know I would love to get it!


Now some close ups.  Here is the napkin, plate and plant.  This is for the Scrapbookin' Adventures challenge - stamp it/





The pearls on the card are from Want2Scrap and the V Striped Twill and Twine are available at Ribbon Carousel.




Now I can't wait to see what you do!
