Bonjour Mon Ami!
Come fly with the Krafty Girls today as we introduce you to Annie's images of the Traveling Girls!

Please turn off all cell phones, laptops, or gaming devices until we get word from our captain.

Michele















Krafty Girl Carole thought it would be fun to finish the inside of our cards for challenge # 87.
Personally,............I don't always do this ,but my goodness.........., it's a great way of getting rid of scrap
LOL!
So this is Annie's Michele.
It looks like she just got off her shift at the Eiffel Tower (were she works as a tour guide) and had time for  a little  shopping   before meeting up with a few friends for a  bite to eat and  a glass of wine  at a cosy little cafe close to her flat.
(Sigh!)  
(in my perfect world!)
(LOL!)

I've been to Paris,...............Las Vegas!
So I've pulled my colours from the rooms that we've stayed in.
Mixed patterns of black,cream and red with glossy black and white prints and mirrored table tops. I've altered this image somewhat because I thought if I were in Paris, I would have more shopping bags, so I just paper pieced and pop dotted  another bag with a bit of real tissue spilling out.

I used Copics and pencils to colour, the dp is from Basic Grey, DCWV, Gina K, Prisma, and scrap, used a SU flower punch (rolled the pedals) added black rhinestone centres, then added a  rhinestone scallop from the local dollar store. I used an "OLD" (2004) SU stamp from  the
Paris in Spring set then added the sentiment that comes with Michele.
  Don't forget to comment on all of our blogs because 2 lucky winners will each win 3 of Annie's images from this release !
Ink and link your creations for this challenge on the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge Blog.
 See you back here tomorrow for the Release Day!!
Til then!

Au revoir!

Wouldn't that be the life, Tracy!! How about you and I share a flat, then? You'll work at the Eiffel Tower and I'll work at a little boutique and we'll drink win and eat croissants together??!! Sound good? Oui, oui!!

Michele looks just gorgeous and the colours and papers are so rich and luscious! I also LOVE your paper pieced bag with the tissue! Goodness knows we'd have SO many shopping bags!!
