My Dream

The sketch this week from 52 Sketches. I flipped the sketch and only used 1 picture but the idea is still there. I did this for the Scrapping Out Loud Challenge - I have a dream.

I wanted to use some of the Sabrina paper while it was still out. I also dug out some retired CTMH paper and was surprised to find this map of Europe which was perfect. To highlight my theme even more I sewed under the word 'France' on the pattern paper and stamped a circle on the travel tag around the word Paris. I was in France in grade 12 (ummmm about 24 years ago!) and I so want to go back!

Detail shot of the circle stamped around the word.

I got to play with some new goodies again, yay!
