Our recipient this week loves to garden so I used this old PTI set which I haven't used in a long time to make a seed packet. I also dug out these seldom used garden brads..they're pretty cute..hmmm I'll have to use them again. I added a kraft die cut frame and greeting and that's it.

how delightful for a gardener, Polly! The tools brads are just the bomb...how did I miss those? I love the scalloped border and the fab yellow watering can. So nicely played!

Everything about this makes me smile Pol. Imagine opening the envelope (which looks gorgeous by the way) and seeing this gardening gem. Thanks so much for adding this terrific card to Joann's teaparty. Thanks for the "brad" reminder too.

Just darling, I still like brads, although don't use them much. I think seed packets are so fun to browse at the store, they are packets full of possibilities and hope. I'm sure she will love this card.

Polly, this card is a "gardener's delight" my friend. I so wish my dad was alive because he would just love to see this fantastic card you made. I love the seed packet design, the wonderful scalloped frame and the adorable tools you used as embellishments. Joann is going to gasp when she pulls this beauty out of the envelope! ~Karen.

Those brads really are cute, Polly! And go so well with your stamps. The little seed packet is sweet.
Yes, I did remember you had both those ODBD stamps, I was hoping you wouldn't have used them . In fact, I hopped over to your gallery to check out the bee balm.
I like the matching envelope, too - that's always a fun detail that brings an extra smile. I'm sure some of the postal workers enjoy them too.

Oh this is sweet, Polly. I got my first seed packets last week and am (IM)patiently waiting for the first greens to poke through the soil. Those brads are awesome - especially since the reflect your stamped images, too.

This would be the perfect card for a gardener. I love my garden and thought this was just perfect for those with green fingers. Beautifully framed and nicely finished off with the little garden brads.
