PP226 A Thousand Thanks




Loads of texture here!  I had this burlap in a 9" square piece on a package recently and threw it in a drawer in my craft room thinking I might be able to use it sometimes. Well, when I saw the re-purpose challenge for The Paper Players, I knew what to use but not sure how I would.  I wanted to stamp on it but the weave was not tight enough for an image.  I then pulled out brads I have not used in a very long time and attached a 4" square to the card stock. Then I decided it had a By The Tide feel and stamped on from there!

Hope your Monday is awesome!
Thanks for stopping by!
