CAS79 - Basil Blessings

Photo Details

Poster: ravengirl

This week is a CAS theme challenge. This week the CAS challenge is all about gardens! My garden is keeping me super busy (cutting into my crafting time a little even!).

In my garden, my basil has gone bananas! I am up to my ears in pesto and at this posting, I currently have a dehydrator full of basil. I only harvested about half of my basil today! Crazy, huh?

Thanks for looking!

This is so soothing and beautiful. Love the predominant green color with the texture. Too bad we don't live closer or I could take some of that basil off your hands.

I can relate to your basil garden! It's been a hot summer and my basil likes it....but the cucumbers are going hog wild too, so I am taking a break from pesto and canning pickles....anyhow, I digress; this is a great stamp to have and a simple, pretty card. I like that the only colors are the green and black and white with lots of texture. It's striking that way!
