I had a three-day weekend and found myself inspired by Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #169. My favorite stamp set right now is Perfectly Preserved from the 2012 Holiday Catalog. I like it even more when it's paired with Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper and the Cannery Set Framelits Dies.
I grew up on a farm in Iowa, and remember my Mom canning corn and other foods every year. It was a huge job, and we stored the canned foods in an underground cellar. This stamp set brings back many of those great memories!
