Let's Celery.brate

Hi Crafty Friends,
Did you know that March is National Celery Month? What does that mean? It means it's time to enjoy this crunchy vegetable and learn about its health benefits. It's a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamins A and C, it has anti-inflammatory properties and can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and it's an easy low calorie snack! I'm celebrating by making and ADORABLE Celery Birthday Card using Jaded Blossom's Veg Out Stamp Set, Jaded Blossom Kawaii Veggies Stamp Set, Jaded Blossom Falling Hearts Stencil, and Jaded Blossom Scallop Rectangle Dies 2. I love the pun sentiment.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: How do you like to eat celery?
A: Me? I make "Cowboy Caviar" and put it in there (garbanzo beans, soy beans, peppers, cilantro, snap peas, and CELERY)

Supplies:
Jaded Blossom's Veg Out Stamp Set
Jaded Blossom Kawaii Veggies Stamp Set
Jaded Blossom Falling Hearts Stencil
Jaded Blossom Scallop Rectangle Dies 2
