The August Kit From The Paper Niche

This month I tried to stay travel oriented when putting together the kit, but as you see both with my pages and the rest of the DT's pages  the kit leaves you plenty of  room to play around without any travel pictures. Other than what is in the kit I also used different red, black and blue inks Black and blue Bazzill, crackle paint, colorwash and Tattered  Angels travel stamps.

I have used Bazzill paper that I stamped with a script stamp and TH's swirl stamp. tattered angels compass stamp stamped on to CI's real wood. The flowers are punched out from stamped Bazzill . The chipboard letters are from Kaiser and are stamped with a wood grain stamp.
