Yep, you read that right... lettuce, celery, beets, carrots, green beans and dried beans to name a few... whatever vegetables you can think of! You can actually 'stamp' with them or use them some other way to create a background!

And here's some inspiration for you...

Leslie

Rachel

I would like to remind everyone to PLEASE read our Playing Guidelines. I hate to harp on 'rules' but they are in place to keep things fair for everyone. We allow 8 entries into our challenges. We only allow blog entries and your blog post must list our specific challenge and link back to our specific challenge - not our main blog URL. If the linky tool is down, do not leave your link in a comment. Those who don't pay attention to the guidelines will not be eligible for winner/top pick honors and their project(s) may be deleted from the gallery.
