I Have a Passion for Tea by Christina Aiton

What a lovely topic to scrap! We love that Christina wrote what she calls her quirky love of tea and that she wrote a little poem using the Inspiration Words "strange" and "daydream." We also thought her title work was quite clever, using the Tazo Passion tea packaging as part of her title.

Read by Christina Aiton

Christina documents "a gathering of kindred souls at the bookstore." We like how Christina used her beautiful handwriting to adorn the edge of her layout. She captures in words perfectly what is most essential about books and what happens when kindred spirits meet to discuss a book.
