Geometric

 The background paper has a geometric appearance.

It really had me puzzled for a while.

Then I went to Maria's in Commerce City CO.

For those of you who don't know about Album Memories

or It's Cheaper Than Therapy, this is

the ultimate die cut store.  Check out

It's Cheaper Than Therapy on the web.

You may also find them at a stamp or scrapbook

convention in your area.  She has more Sizzix dies

than anyone I know of.  (and better prices too!)

 The plaid looking texture is from a Sizzix folder.  It

came as a set.  A Christmas set I might add.

The other folder is snow flakes.

I bought it for the plaid. 

 I also tried this plaid folder on some green stripe

scrapbook paper.  By brayering over the

top of the finished resulted with dark brown ink, the plaid really popped.
