You should have arrived from Carolyn Sharkas' blog. If not, no worries. you can begin here and loop back around or you can go to the VC Rocks blog and begin there!
Today I am sharing a layout I created in My Digital Studio. I can't say enough how much I LOVE this program! It is so versatile and easy to use. I have created more scrapbook pages in the last few months than I have in my entire life! And the printing through Stampin' Up! is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!
Anyway, on to my pages. Back in May, a group of us "girls" went on a tour to a traditional Japanese Tea Room and participated in a Tea Ceremony. It was extremely interesting to say the least. And the tea, well, umm, I was taught that if I can't say something nice not to say anything at all LOL.
Japanese Tea Master. Did you know that one must study the art of making tea for 25 years before becoming a Tea Master??? Crazy, huh? I thought so, too.
The grounds were lovely and the ladies were very nice. The traditional dress is absolutely beautiful!
Supplies Used:
My Digital StudioDotted Scallop Border Punch Digital Download (122151)

How fun, to be able to share in your tea ceremony experience through this great layout! I agree about the matcha--it's not much for drinking, but it does make a mean ice cream. . . . Nice work, Jamie!
Fabulous page, Jamie! 25 years is phenomenal...wow! And you are so right...a gorgeous ceremonial outfit!
Great layout. And I agree, 25 years is a long time to master tea making...
TFS.
Love the scrapbook page. I enjoy teas, even though I'm not much on hot tea (I'm an iced sweet tea kinda' gal). Never heard of a Japanese Tea Ceremony. Will have to check into that. TFS! Thanks for a chance at some blog candy too.
