October 2025 - Just the Gist of it

 Ever have a bit of trouble putting that kit together? Don't know where to start?? I find the easiest place for me to start is with the papers. 

1st let's take a look at the kit again

Sometimes the kit companies will put out pictures of the A side and B side of the papers: 

From these I can make a list of what I'm looking for in my stash. Maps, blues, text, postcards, typewriter type, old maps, ships, stripes and compass rose. This can head me to my travel stash and start looking and you can use a variety of colors and icons when it comes to travel paper. 

From there the embellishments just mimic the paper. Maybe start with a travel collection and then add a few stamps and stencils that will play along with the theme.  

 

Come back in a couple of days and check out our forgeries.  Don't forget, we still have a lot more to come this month.
