I made this layout to go with my other Teapot Party page. This has stamps on it that I salvaged from cards sent me from all over the world. You see a lot of Australian Stamps, as Four different teapotter sent me cards from there. I even featured one of the cards from Australia, from Susie. I liked her envelope flap and featured that too I asked Susie for permission to use her card on my scrap page, and she said yes. I used a pretty envelope with a map that someone sent with their card. I thought it perfect on the layout, because of the map and the theme of Fawaway places. I used it to put all of the return addresses in. Yes I cut them off and now I could look and see who, and where the cards all came from,
I also put journaling on a card and added a tag and put it in the envelope, and it can be pulled out and read.
The Journaling reads: I received many, many regular cards and handmade cards while recovering from my broken wrists and surgeries. Cards came from as far away as Spain, Germany, France, Canada, Ireland, and Australia, as well as from all over the US. I receive at least 46 handmade cards, as well as 14 more from a lady on SCS that took it on herself to mail me one every week. Such a blessing and encouragement!
I am submitting this for my March Scrapbook Technique Challenge. And with all the Australian references on here, also submitting for the VSBN Challenge by Australian Jayne! It has to cut someway!

Sharon you nailed it and literally created an Aussie page. I’m so impressed and how special to retain the memory of people from around the world who sent you cards whilst you were healing. Susie’s card is a gem and I love that you used all the Aussie stamps...I see mine on there lol.
Thank you for playing in my challenge. Hugs and love.
