Welcome back friends
This is my first project and post for Scrapping4funBlog!! https://scrapping4funchallenges.blogspot.com/. The theme for this challenge is Coffee-Tea. I drink both, coffee is my morning go to and tea is my afternoon or bed time wind down go to. I enjoy tea in tea bags, I have some favorites in bags, and also loose leaf tea, I enjoy both. I had just received a bag of loose leaf tea as a gift and decided on a tea box! As I was creating this tea box, I took a walk down memory lane, Every Sunday morning, I would walk to church, pass the building where my maternal grandmother lived. After church I would always stop in to see my Grandmother, where she would be just putting the kettle on and setting the table for our Sunday get together ! I would eat slices of Hollywood brown bread with butter, yes real butter and peanut butter on top with a cup of Salada tea with two sugar cubes. We would visit and talk like we were not going to see each other again for a long time, funny thing, I would be seeing her on Monday!! My grandmother and her mother, my great grandmother spent every day of the week with us at our house! I look back on the time spent with them with love and thankfulness. They shaped me into the woman I am today. I miss them both dearly.
Here is what I did, I happen to have the doily like wood cut in my stash, which I painted white. The blue plate like piece come from Bo Bunny. I stamped the cup, spoon, and tea bag. Using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Faded Jeans, I brushed the edges. Put it all together for a one of kind gift for yourself or a tea loving friend.
I hope I was able to provide some inspiration for you! Thank you for visiting and your support.
Until next time........
