Cards and Jam

June is one of my favourite  months because of strawberry season.
  Is there nothing better than  strawberry shortcake? Yes I did indulge..
 Had a pint of berries  that needed to be used up . A  search on line   and I found this recipe for   a small batch of  jam at  Chocolate Moosey  .....http://www.chocolatemoosey.com/2012/06/05/small-batch-strawberry-jam-for-holidayrecipeclub/
Happily it makes just one jar. A tiny bit left over for me to taste.. very good . This is a cooked jam using  lemon juice .
 I now have  a treat to share with company; won't it go well with   cream scones.
 
 Made  3 cards  this month   
 The   one on the left is a birthday card embossed with gold   popped up  balloon..  a touch of scallop on one edge.  The middle one   could be birthday or  sympathy  soft calla lily stamp   embossed and die cut edge in navy , Soft pink liner and soft pink on  edge of  callas. The last card is another birthday perfect for a  male.....4 different   stamps,  coloured ,    tho hard to see there is a  sun  just rising in the  picture near the birds  .. a die cut of grasses complete the card.
