Oh my, these are right up my alley, especially with our upcoming trip to Paris this fall!  I couldn’t wait to create a couple projects just for today’s hop.  Here’s my first card using most products from the Main Kit.

The sentiment is from the DC211 Dress Up Stamp & Cut, all the other images are from the Main kit!  Just say yes to capri jeans, flats and a striped tee!  That’s my uniform!  Love that kraft wrapped floral bouquet!

Next up is a card that I’ve made for my boy:

I used the Earth Mix Layering Papers for this card.  The tone on tone Paper Layering Eiffel Tower is a great way to add a design element.   The base has been stamped with the the Antique Bee and Flowers in Soft Brown Shadow Ink.  I was told to have Coffee and Croissants everyday in Paris.

I’ll be sure to tuck in a Starbucks Gift Card with this.

I used the Circle Infinity Dies to create the frame around the Coffee and Croissant.

That’s it for me!  Next up is the FABulous Lydia Fiedler!
