I'm playing along with T is for Tuesday, so let's have a cup of tea while I walk you through the page.
My tea cup this week has a northwoods vibe, to go along with the layout. The cup was handmade by a talented artist in Wisconsin. Even though it looks like a birch trunk, it's ceramic.
Awhile back, I noticed that a trait of some of my favorite scrapbook pages is a mixture of hard and soft textures. Ever since I came to this realization, I have made an effort to incorporate a variety of textures into my work. On this particular page, crumpled and distressed layers of paper provide the softness.
Metal staples, placed in a row, provide contrasting texture.
The photos on this page are from before I ever had (or had even heard of) a digital camera, but they are still some of my favorite photos. This one shows my brother, my mom, and me on a footbridge in Itasca State Park (the source of the Mississippi River). My dad took the photo, and I love how he captured the reflection in the water.
Well, that's all for today. I hope you've enjoyed going "up north" and "down memory lane" with me in this post! :)

I agree, the reflection of you all in the water makes it a great photo. Are you having fun going down memory lane?
Loved seeing your layout Denise... Much scrapbooking is in my future so i'm taking notes..lol

That's a great photo! We really need to take our kids up there before they are too old to want to go anywhere with us!
Love that mug too!
Happy T Day!
I apologize for getting here so late. I fell asleep about the time I was planning to leave you a comment. Sad, but true.
Like you, back in 91, I had a never heard of digital. I had a nice SLR, but I took so many photos, I was often taking more than I had money to develop. The photo of you on the bridge is so gorgeous. I agree it's a great one.
That's a gorgeous ceramic mug, too. The muffin looks yummy. I'd gladly help you eat it!
Since I'm not a scrapbooker, I didn't think of all the textures until you pointed them out. This is a beautiful piece.
Thanks for joining us for T this Tuesday with your lovely mug and woodsy scrapbook page.

GREAT LOs Denise! The mix of textures really add to the LOs, and those pictures are packed with memories.
Thanks for coming to T and for leaving a comment for the girls.
I love that fake birch tree mug! So cool! Itasca is a beautiful place. I have never gotten into scrapbooking, but I have tons of old pictures, too. Maybe some day--LOL! Happy belated T-Day since I didn't get here till Wednesday. ;)
