Merci

Bonjour! This week, the delightful Shani is our hostess at Little Red Wagon. Shani lives in France and she's chosen the theme "Frenchified" for this week's challenge. Basically, if your creation is inspired by something with a French connection, you're just the person we want to have you join us! Think wine, brie and camembert, escargots, macarons, Marseille soaps, Chanel, Dior or Vuitton, etc. 

I decided to go ultra literal and used Paris and the Eiffel Tower on my card. I've been privileged to visit Paris and other parts of France several times. We usually rent a flat for the full "when in France" experience. Paris is one of my favourite places to visit.

The background for my card was created with an MFT stamp and the Eiffel Tower stamp is from MFT's "In Paris" stamp set. I used some blue, white and red twine (colours of the French flag) and letter dies from My Craft Spot (no longer in business). 

Please head to Little Red Wagon for "l'inspiration française" and then think happy French thoughts as you create for this week's challenge.

You LIft My Spirits

Imke is our Little Red Wagon hostess this week and, with summer holidays just around the corner, she's thinking about travel. She'd like to see projects of any kind (cards, home decor, bags and boxes, scrapbook pages, etc.) dealing with anything to do with travel! You can focus on a particular place or something that you enjoy doing while traveling.

I love to travel! London is my favourite city to visit, with Paris coming in a close second. When I visit Paris, I typically stay in a short-term rental so that I can be fully immersed in the culture, visiting local grocers and bakeries for daily necessities. Well, I suppose that sweet treats aren't really necessary, but I'm very drawn to them all the same!!

I used MFT's In Paris stamp set to create my card, doing just a little bit of masking to create my scene.

Please head over to Little Red Wagon to see the rest of the Girlfriends' takes on this challenge - and then think about travel as you create a project to link up this week!
