Jeudi Journal - Paris

Well here we are.  Doing a bit of Europe and this time it is Paris that we are visiting.  Poor "Effel" has got a bit muddled and thought the French had named their famous landmark after her. Understandable as the spelling is so close to how they pronounce her name.

Left until the last minute again (well, I have been rather busy trying to move things back into my craft room) I decided to do a black and white page.  Not wanting it to look as if it was a "cop out" with just simple stamping on it I decided to use clear embossing powder on my figures etc.  Could I find my embossing powders?  Could I heck!  I searched and searched and even got Chas involved. A quick look in the study and in the porch at the remnants lying there but no joy. Back in to the craft room.  Now I knew they must be there but what had I put them in and where?

Eventually, searching BEHIND other things on the deep shelves they came to light.  In a red box marked 'embossing powders'.  Must make a note of that in my Rolodex system.

So here is my page, at last.  Parisian type adverts, the Eiffel Tower and Fred and Ethel (sorry, 'Effel") all stamped in black ink and embossed with clear EP.  Think I quite like the black and white, reminds me of a journal I did with Sandra Botham at Art from the Heart a while ago - but that had lots of 'tangling' on it and I am afraid there was not time, nor space, to do anything like that here. Perhaps another day, another page!

Now to see if Wendy has finished her page
