Bonjour Paris - Meg's Garden DT March 2012

I have never been to Paris, but it is a dream of mine to visit this 

beautiful city one day. This is my next project for Meg's Garden DT.

Check out other design teams projects during 
the next few days at Meg's Garden blog 
here:http://megsgardenblog.blogspot.com/
check out Meg's Garden Website for gorgeous papers 
and embellishments 
here:http://megsgarden.com/

I have a called my projects "Bonjour Paris" 
Paris is such a magical city. I created 2 cards and a 
book cover which holds an accordion set of pages 
about vintage Paris.  This is a keepsake
that holds a memento of a time in Paris when the
Eiffel Tower was built for the World Fair in early 1889.
It was too hard to bring it down so they left it there.
120 years on and it is the very symbol of Paris.
A great work of art.

Bonjour Paris

The first is an altered book with fold out pages inside.

The cover was a plain book box, a box shaped like a book which opens

out to reveal a delightful mementos of Paris.

Here is the cover and back of book

front cover

the folded pages inside are decorated on both sides also the
inside and back covers are lined with 
Meg's Garden papers and embellishments.

materials used:

White with 1 - DT project

This month for WHITE WITH 1 we have to create

White + Kraft + Layering

I created this layout using Kraft, white paint and layering Kraft papers

around the photo then painted them with white paint.

I placed some journalling around the whole page, it reads,

"Life is like a journey because we never know where we are going. The only thing we can do is hope our journey will lead us in the right direction.  We just have to keep walking until our journey stops.  Keep on moving until we make it to the promise land together. Everyone's journey is like a quest."

The photo is of my Nephew when he was 4 years old.
