'Preserving' my Garden Memories Scrapbook Layout

Made this scrapbook layout of my Cantaloupe garden that my hubby worked so hard to build in a raised garden bed using cedar wood. Hubby found out that treated lumber chemicals that it is treated with is not good for some plants. Titled the scrapbook layout 'Preserving' my Garden Memories because I used the Preserves Cricut cartridge for the cantaloupe & 'melon' wording die cuts. Started working on the scrapbook layout 7/12/11 & finished it today 7/15/11.


















Photos matted on yellow cardstock:
