NOTE TO SELF ~ CHALLENGE YOURSELF

Hello on a chilly afternoon , seems where I live has forgotten it is meant to be Spring !

Today I would like to share my layout for the challenge at Challenge Yourself .


and this is my take

Note to Self ~ Every hundred feet the world changes


Using some old Teresa Collins PP's . Thanks Lizzy for the little camera embellishment.



On the pull out tag I have written ~ We decided to take a drive into Monaco. I found it hard to be OK with all the wealth on display. I kept thinking all this wealth could feed a starving country. A few years on, on reflection I am glad we stopped to have a look , but I wouldn't want to spend long here. A look see was enough. I guess I don't feel comfortable amongst the rich and famous, it all seems so false to me.

Thank you for calling by. Have a great week and remember to spread a little
Love, Peace and Happiness

Another stunner! Loooove the way you've done those banner bits way up the side....looks fabulous & I really like the colours on this one! Can't say I felt that way about Monaco....but some rich dude coulda picked us up off the side of the road when we were so very obviously lost!!!

Well you know I just love this layout Mary! All the little travel bits & bobs work perfectly with your photo. I agree, it's interesting to have a look at how the other half lives, but I wouldn't want to spend too long amongst them either. Another great memory xx
