stamps with Jamaica theme

[Debbie Toledo]

I just got back from a fantastic trip to Jamaica to build a house with Habitat for Humanity. Now I want to scrapbook my adventures....Any one have a source for stamps with Jamaica themes? The island? The flag? Reggae?

Any jerk chicken recipes would be appreciated too!

Thanks for your help!

Having never been to Jamaica I'm not sure but I'd think that the palm trees from the Balmy Breezes would work. As far as the jerk chicken, I just made a recipe from the current Cooking Light magazine. It used Jamacian jerk seasoning and had a mango salsa. Yum Yum. The recipe is at home if you want it just PM and I'll send it tomorrow. Gail

Good Luck! I certainly think Stampin' Up needs to come up with some more "destination" based stamps for scrapbookers. But I am sure even if they did, they would never be able to cover every single "theme". However, there is a new set (in the Spring Mini catalogue I believe) with palm trees.

Good Luck!

First, I think It was great of you to go there for that reason.
I went to Jamaica on my honeymoon a few years ago and scrapbooked a 60 page album 12x12 on it. I use the typical jamacian colors as a theme. yellow, red, and green. The flag is green, white, and black. (You could go to Jamaica.com and look at the flag and stats on Jamaica to get ideas for the scrapbook, use your imagination and go wild. If you go to a scrapbook store they will have theme stickers for Jamaica. They even have jerk chicken stickers on it. You could also find stickers and die cuts of tools and tropical trees etc.
One of the main reasons we went to Jamaica was to site see Bob Marley, so my album is also themed around him. If you have any more questions that I might be able to help with just (pm) me. Most important have fun with it.
