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.
