I remember when I was about 10, being in the kitchen with my great grandmother. We called her “Granna”. I remember the smell of fresh strawberry jam and helping her to mash the berries. It’s a memory that has stayed with me forever, and so every year I make my house smell just like hers. Fresh strawberry jam is something my family has always loved, and for a few lucky people they get to live that memory with me as I give out the jam.
This year I used my Inspiration to make my labels. I first cut three 3″ circles for the tops out of a plaid pattern paper. Then I used the Deckled Edge Classic Ovals from the Spellbinders Cutting Collections. I used the two largest ones and sized them smaller to fit. I resized a larger one instead of using the smaller one, as I felt I lost less definition around the edge. I used the Pazzles Pen Tool to write Strawberry Jam in Edwardian script and then stamped it with a strawberry from Stampin Up. I used twine cording to wrap and attach my tag to the rings.
What’s next? Apricot pineapple jam.
