So I want to marry up these papers from Basic Grey
with both of these stamps from Basic Grey
into a cute card that is a tea bag holder for small gifts that say "thinking of you". Here is an example of the template I'm going to use from vervegirl who I think must own Verve Stamps. on Splitcoast Stampers. There are actually a lot of links on Splitcoast. Check out this forum thread for more about tea bag holders. I liked vervegirl's template the best so far.
I haven't decided when I'll tackle these, but have definitely given thought to what papers, colors and stamps I want to use. For some reason the holiday concept isn't speaking to me. It's July. Go figure.
I am working on a page for my trip to the Bristol race in March. It's coming along nicely. I have the layout and have started working on the materials. Am trying to remember to build up from the bottom, adding texture. It is very easy to take layouts too literally (sometimes that is good) other times, that is boring. I'm creating memories for myself later in life ( I don't have kids) so I don't just want to look at 20 photos. I want to look at the best 5 photos and read the story.
Peace to all.
