SKETCHY BOARDS CHALLENGE ~ I WISH I FOUND YOU SOONER

Hello !
Today I would like to share a layout for the challenge at Sketchy Boards Challenge

The Sketch



and the image......



Any one that knows me , will know this is going to appeal to me, I mean how could Paris not appeal to someone ?

and this is my take


I wish I could turn back the clock, I'd find you sooner & love you longer


the photo of the Eiffel Tower was taken by my son when he was in Paris  (his photo's are much better than mine )

Some washi and stamping



I stamped a Eiffel Tower and it wasn't straight, so it was annoying the heck out of me. I mean if it was the leaning tower of Pisa that would be ok, but the Eiffel Tower does not lean !
Then I remembered I had the lovely sequin Eiffel Tower from a lovely Pen Pal ..... Perfect ! Problem solved





I took my friends advice and used mists on white ribbon to get the colour I wanted.



Thank You for calling by. I encourage you to check out the fabulous DT 's take on the challenge.

It was Father's Day in Australia yesterday. We had a family BBQ and had fun playing a board game for the afternoon (they are the best times )



My Hubby, Eldest Son and my two Grandchildren <3

and this is the card I made my Husband.




Love, Peace and Happiness

I so love the quote on your Paris layout and of course the page is magical! I love the colours you've chosen to hightlight the photos. I'd love to visit Paris again and with you and Lizzy cause I know how much you two would appreciate everything about it along with me :)
