Shopping our Stash #258 - How Does your Garden Grow?

This week at Shopping our Stash we'd like to see what grows in your garden....of paper, that is ;) I tried to go beyond the typical flowers to use an image that doesn't see much ink, and found this cutie from an old PTI baby set:


Supplies: stamps from PTI; Shabby Shutters distress ink; Tim Holtz design ruler & embroidery supplies; buttons from stash

So what grows in YOUR paper garden? Dig into your stash & show us, and come link up by Monday, July 4 :)
