Summer Sweet-Sour Cucumbers with Onions Recipe Layout

Created this Summer Cucumber Recipe layout using a Sweet-Sour Cucumbers with Onions tasty recipe from Spices of the World Cookbook by McCormick.


Hubby built the raised cedar veg bed with trellis. Planted 1 Cucumber plant bought at Home Depot.


Used Freshly Picked Cricut cartridge for the Cucumber die cuts. Tried to cut the one layer but too thin & it kept tearing so I made 2 without the layer out of 2 different shades of green.
Used Tim Holtz paper distresser on the edges of the Cucumber die cuts to give it a more realistic bumpy Cucumber look.

Our Cucumber plant has become a 
Jack-in-the-Beanstalk.
