A Post Card from Paris


I never thought I would find myself wishing for some cooler air.
We have been staying at Melrose in Scotland,
the heat and sun has been worthy of a continental holiday.
Even the fact,  that I was up  trying to keep Meg  comforted 
during an horrific thunder and lightening storm the other night,hasn't spoilt the holiday.
Also we have had good internet reception 
and even better been able to watch some super  Tennis matches on TV.

On the 1st July Valerie and Susi announced the new theme for the month at
'Post and Postage'.
What did I have with me that might fit this theme.
So I am not sending you a card from Scotland, its from Paris instead.
Lots of layered assorted distress ink  colours, some stencils Paris [Sheena ]
Burlap [Tim Holtz] a small piece of embossed music
The stamps are Runaway [Tim Holtz] and the postage ones can be anybodies guess, it was pure luck they were in the bottom of the box.
If you click the picture it will be enlarged and show up more of the background texture etc..

I will also be joining the challenge  at............
the new  theme there is,
Destinations
Tim's distress inks as well as his stamps were used on this page, including my all time favourite of Vintage Photo, new colours Cracked Pistachio  and twisted Citron.

Thank you for taking time to stop by, I do so appreciate the comments you leave for me.

  7. Nice improvised page here Yvonne! I hope I'm as lucky whilst I'm away to have just the right supplies :-)

    Not sure when you leave Melrose but I'm thinking the w/end so it's probably turned cooler for you now (it's raining here) off on our travels Monday so I'll give your neck of the woods a wave as I drive along the A1 about 8am!
