Bonjour!

 Good morning, friends!

One of the most wonderful cities I've been blessed to visit

in our travels is Paris!

It was on my long Bucket List 

and it has resonated with my soul each trip we've made.

 I fall in love all over again with this enchanting city each time!
 J'aime la France ♥

 

From the architecture to the history,

the art and culture and quaint cafes and restaurants,

there is so much to love.

On our most recent trip, our hotel was off the cobblestone beaten path,

tucked neatly behind the bustling Champs-Élysées busy-ness.

To see all of Paris in a week, we chose the best mode of transportation

 in order not to miss a thing:  our feet!

Only the day trips to Colmar, Palace of Versailles (etc) were by rental car

and, holy bananas, driving through the Arc de Triomphe?!!

life. changing. 

 It was devastating to city the news of the Notre Dame Cathedral

and my heart was on Paris when I created this card.

Rather than see the city as it is,

I wanted to create a softer card remembering how it was ♥

To create my little Paris scene, I used the stamp set 'In Paris'

 from My Favorite Things

and colored them with my Zig Clean color brush markers.

The background was sponged with Ranger Ink Spun Sugar

distress oxide inks 

and the sentiment, also from the In Paris set, was added with Momento

Tuxedo Black ink. 

Oh how this scene evokes wonderful memories :) 

Wishing you a happy day of blessings and 

focusing only on the beautiful things!

  Vivre la vie pleinement ♥

Big hugs, bigger blessings!
