J'aime Paris

This week has been so busy “arty-crafty” wise. Which is always a good thing! I was soooo excited about the theme in the City Crafter Challenge blog “I love Paris” that I just kept thinking of new things I wanted to do with “Paris” label on them.
And that’s because I LOOOOVE Paris! I went there with my lovely Mr K in July 2006. Below a couple of my fav piccies from the trip ;-)








This is what I created for my j'aime Paris bonanza:


For the front of the card I used a sketch from Midnight Madness by Priscilla MMSC54.



 
I have recently fallen in love with easel cards so had to try this again! This way I get to decorate all sides of the card, hence my entry to Crafty Cardmakers challenge #21 Inside Out.







The colour scheme fitted perfectly Playdate Cafe Challenge #30 with pale yellow, light green and pink.


 

And I really love the quote from the sentiment, I think it’s really inspirational. It should be perfect for entering the Gingersnap Creations #55 Random Redhead - Quotes.



The quote sentiment has been designed by Raindrop Echo Designs for Whimsy Stamps.


Challenges that I am also entering:Paper Sundaes – Easel card
Something Completely Different - Paris


I would love to hear what you think ;-). Thanks for looking!
