Paris by Foot

I'm back again with some more Paris photos from my daughter's trip and I have to say that working with this Making Memories travel line from several years ago is really working for these photos!

My post yesterday was a layout using mostly Basic Grey's new line and it works perfectly with this Making Memories older line...I've been saving this paper and LOADS of embellishments since BEFORE Olivia went to Paris...yeah, I know crazy hoarding and shopping issues, but hey...look how it all came together now!??

One day I'll get there, but in the meantime, I'll just live vicariously through my daughter :) The group did A LOT OF WALKING...like Olivia said, pretty much everywhere!

While I was away at BC Crop for Kids a couple weeks ago, a lovely lady at the end of my table let me have some of her old stamps stickers...I used them here and on my other layouts from that weekend, so grateful to my scrapbooking sisters out there that have no problem sharing their stuff...this is the world of scrapbookers, we are so generous with our craft!

I worked with last weeks sketch at Let's Scrap...it was provided to us from Valerie Salmon at got sketch? Nice and simple lines and lots of photos...great sketch!

Thanks for stopping in today...see you back here soon!

Paris in Springtime

Olivia went to Paris with her school in Grade 11 which was about 20 months ago! I haven't scrapbooked any of her photos until last weekend at all but I think I felt the desire to start working on them seeing as my Mother is currently in Paris with her girlfriend!

She decided, upon her daughter's suggestion (that's me!) to start a daily blogging journal for those of us stuck at home, so we can keep up on her adventures and see some of the sights she is seeing while she's still there! I like that my Mother is also posting photos of what they are eating and describing it all in great detail...wonderful idea to blog your trip even for your own benefit!

Anyways, this layout is using some fantastic papers and embellies from Basic Grey and odd bits from Making Memories...I love the peaceful feeling I get when I look at this photo that Olivia took on her visit to Paris,wish I was there!

Great chipboard embellies from BG, made putting this layout together fast and easy!

Here's last weeks sketch#316 from Scrapbook Challenges, I've used the single page but I've also included the double page layout below.

Now I've used the double page layout sketch#317 from this week at Scrapbook Challenges and started in theory but then went off on my own! I like that sketches are always a great starting point, but often we just get going on our own after that!

More Basic Grey papers and Bazzill cardstock

Using up the last of my Close To My Heart folded ribbon, love this stuff!

Purchasing some of the embellies that coordinate with your papers is always a great idea as it makes it short work creating a layout when you aren't hunting around for those embellies to match!

I've used up some scrap airplane ribbon from Making Memories, love that ribbon!

The double and single sketches from Scrapbook Challenges this week!

 I hope you are having a fantastic week and thanks for stopping in here :)
