Pen Pals.

I created one 12" x 12" scrapbook page using a photo of my dad and one of he's pen-pals. He had many pen-pals with which he exchanged letters, postage stamps, postcards, etc. You can see more of he's postcards here. My inspiration was "Pen Pals" by Misty Posey from the book  Memories in the Making: It's All about Travel and Vacation By Nancy M. Hill.

Close up of pen-nib, postage stamp, picture frame, etc. The pull out tab reveals more information. File Tab Stickers With Inspirational Sayings by K&Company. The technique I used on the frame was DIY Crackle Paint With Elmer’s Glue. 

I decorated the background using travel and postage themed rubber-stamps and ink.
