Today I would like to share a layout for Lasting Memories Challenge where the theme is Together. I found this Challenge Site via Lizzy ( Thanks Lizzy, you are so good at finding challenge sites )
I have chosen to scrap a photo of me and hubby in Vienna
You and Me Together
I have gone a little over the top pink and Pretty. But I went with the top I was wearing for inspiration with the colour palette
There is a story with my new top. We were at the markets in Vienna and it was all pretty hard sell. One of the first stalls we came upon was a clothes stall and my brother wanted to look at getting some new shorts. The stall was run by two young Indian Brothers and their Dad. So after some bartering my brother brought a couple of pairs of shorts & Victor was having fun with them talking about cricket. I picked up a top to look at and next thing they were telling me it would look most beautiful on me. I don't like buying things without trying them on, but they assured me it would be most comfortable and was very stretchy ! They reminded me of the guy out of the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, they were so enthusiastic . I couldn't help but buy the top & crossed my fingers it would fit and that I would like it ( and then they tried to sell me one in every colour lol ) That night we went back into the markets for dinner ( I liked the top and it was nice to have something different to wear ) As we arrived at the markets the boys were packing up and upon seeing us there were lots of smiles and greetings and the boys told me "Madame you look most beautiful", my husband said what about him and they said "no sir you did not buy anything"lol .These are the stories and memories that make travelling so good.
Thank you for calling by. Don't forget to go out and share a little
Love, Peace and Happiness

Love how soft and delicate this is but you have added so much texture and bulked it up - brilliant!
What a fun story to go with a beautiful photo and layout. Love the soft colors and beautiful textures. Glad that top fit! Thanks for creating with us at Lasting Memories.
Lol I love this story! I find markets like that intimidating when they hassle you to buy something :( This page is a new favourite of mine. I love the paper (goes so well with your new top) and I really love the photo of the two of you - just gorgeous! xx
