Today's way to use it was to go to your spice cupboard and be inspired by your spices. I went to my spice cupboard and saw my teabags. Cozy Chamomile, Perfect Peach and Green Tea. I hope these are close enough to spices. Tea always gives me such a calming feeling..
This tea cup was my awesome Norwegian grandma's. She had a collection of tea cups. She gave this to me. I will treasure it forever. It WILL NOT be going with any mover. I will be taking this with me in my own vehicle.
Thanks Melody for this awesome challenge. I think I strayed a bit but I was feeling sentimental today. Also saying goodbye to all these awesome incolors and dp..
Have a happy stamping day,
Dawn

Dawn, this is precious, and I think honors your grandma. I loved hearing about her. Glad this treasure will be packed with you in the car! I love your scallop border and wonderufl colors. Beautiful card!
