Hello There,

I created my card today using my favorite technique, emboss resist.  I love using this technique to put light images in front of dark backgrounds and pull those images to the foreground.

On another note:

Spring is the kick off for my gardening season.  I start a lot of my vegetables from seed and make my own little newspaper pots to start my seedlings in.  Here is how I do it.

I started with a Pot Maker which I purchased from Amazon. 3″ wide newspaper strips and rolled them around the pot maker with excess hanging off of the bottom.

Folded the bottom excess over.

Smashed the pot maker on the base and then slipped the new little pot off.  Newspaper pots can be put right into the ground when you plant your seedling and it will decompose.

Fill the pot with seed starter and plant your seeds according to the seed packet.  🙂  It is so very rewarding to start a plant from seed and be able to eat when the plant produces.

So how is your garden coming along?

Have a fabulous day!   I’m off to plant more seeds.

Until my next post. . . . . . .  .
