I wonder.................

Hello...............I'd like to show you the card I made this week for The Shabby Tea Room .

The challenge is "For the Love of Books"
Just Another Gorgeous photo to be inspired by!


Use Cream, Aqua, Pink and Newsprint

Here's my card:)


The newsprint came from a very old book that my mother gave me........it was hers when she was a child. Its full of old rhymes and verse. I photo copied the page below , reducing the size of the picture so it would fit in a frame.


The frame was cut from a cereal box using 'Elegant Edges' cartridge. I painted and embossed it!


Thank you sooooooooo much for stopping by

Tracey
