The London Eye

I saw this sketch over at 4 x 6 Sketch blog  and really liked it.  I did have to crop the bottom two photos to remove unwanted details.  The two photos of me were taken whilst I was on The Eye. The papers are from Graphic 45 Steampunk range.  It was a beautiful morning when I went on this last year.  Hope you like it.   Margaret.

Tour Montparnasse, Paris

We have just had a long weekend here in Australia (Queen's Birthday) and it was raining, raining and more rain and not to mention cold.  I spent the weekend decluttering my craft room and whilst I was in my scrapbooking papers I found this old kit from a store that is no longer operating. It would be many years old.  I loved the poppies and I just could not discard it every time I looked at it over the years.   Well, today I decided - use it!!!  These photos were taken at Tour (Tower) Montparnasse , in Paris.  From the 59th observation floor of the tower you get 360 degree beautiful views over the entire city of Paris.  It takes just 38 seconds to get to the top. It was very windy the day my sister and I went up, earlier this year, and it was overcast but at just the right time the sun came out over the Tour Eiffel (Eiffel Tower) and it made for a magical moment. One of the elements of this layout are the stitched and beaded stem and leaves on the bottom right hand side flowe
