Journalling Again

I decided I wanted to do one of my journalling pages on "Paris" as I love visiting this city and as a result have quite a few images relating to it. It wasn't going to be something I did immediately but then I went on Lots to Do and saw that this week's challenge was "Paris" (and what it meant to you). Ideal - I had to get started - so this morning I splodged some colour on a new page and was away.

Remember my "An Altered Paris" album? Well, I have some bits of paper left over from where I cut out the windows and lo and behold they have pictures of those truly evocative lamps on them. Had to include a bit of that paper. Then out came my stamps, far too many, so choices had to be made. I sat down and wrote a list of my favourite things/moments from my trips to Paris and so I included some of those. The reason for the ladies face at the top right is that it depicts me remembering all those wonderful times in Paris. Saying that we have never had good weather when we have been and the bottom left corner has got some rain splashes stamped on it - just to remind me.

No picture of Paris would be complete without the Eiffel Tower and I had a rubber stamp of the Arc de Triomphe so had to use those. (I resisted my Paris skyline showing various buildings as I thought it could get too busy). How I wish I had a rubber stamp of Sacre Coeur, somewhere I have to visit every time I go to Paris.

I love the signage in Paris, the wrought iron, the curls, the lettering and so two lovely stamps are used which are so evocative. Do you like my imitation of the "Metropolitain" sign? Underneath I tried another style of writing (not very successful - need to practice) by writing some of my favourite things about Paris in blocks.

Anyway, here it is - my entry for the Lots to Do challenge this week. Hope you like it?
