Paris Again and The South Bank

This first one I've made as a Companion Piece (oh yes, I watch too much Project Runway!) to Paris Monmartre
. There were quite a few offcuts that I wanted to use up rather than refile in my paper box and potentially forget all about.



I also used the negative image that I accidentally created when inking a doily for a layout that I seem to have forgotten to post. Anyway, I kept the inked paper as I figured I could use it at some point!

I can see now that it is massively missing journalling, so I may have to sort that out.




These are some of the elephants that we saw on the South Bank (we're in London now) after our trip to Macbeth at the Globe. The little elephants were on a paper of zoo creatures that I original bought because it has giraffes on, but now I've used the elephants and the lions!

Paris - Montmartre

The using up of Scraps gave quite a boost to my Mojo. I suddenly came across papers that I'd forgotten, or used to love and hadn't realised that I still had bits left, or that I'd been hanging onto for particular projects and had kept putting off. This is one of those.

I saw these papers amongst Jo's stash and thought they'd be great for some of my Paris photos. Just never quite got round to it. Anyway, tidying up gave me the kick to do it and here it is:

Twisted Sketches #55

A bit late in putting this one up, and I haven't done Twist #56 yet and #57 will be up today! Still, the twist was to use Flags, so I made some banners out of ribbon and came up with this:


The photos are all old shots of me, various quality, especially that one in the middle of my 7th Birthday!

Once again, I've used Jo's papers. Thanks Jo! These are all K&Co. paper snob in me wants to know what they're called and I think they may be Mira, but I'm not sure.

Road Trip ... there's still more!

A couple of pieces of what I call "Jo's Paper" because it came from her stash! I just had to have these two sheets, one of them with old American cars on and the other which was mainly a map of America with various bits of ephemera printed up one side. That sheet was just crying out to be chopped up and reassembled.

So that's what I did! I really should've taken a 'before' picture of the paper before I attacked it, but I forgot.

The photo isn't terribly clear, but I'm building a small stone cairn by the side of the road on the way into the Valley of Fire. Here's the cairn, I scrapped it as part of my Believe Mini Album:


The map tab came from my Teamie Sue, so thanks to both Jo and Sue for helping me to make this layout! :)
