A magical place!

By the time you see this I will be in my magical place - Paris!
To me it is always full of surprises - we try to visit a new part each time we visit as well as returning to old favourites.
To many it is the Eiffel Tower that is the focal point - to me it is the first sight of the Sacre Couer cathedral as we enter the city by train - hopefully with the sun shining on it! 
The background started with some Distress Oxides but I added quite a lot of stencilling and stamping to it.
The Sacre Couer stamp is an old Elusive Images one.I cut the macarons from some paper I kept from a bakery in Orleans a couple of years ago! I haven't had macaron for years so maybe this time I will treat us to one! I was using a TH clear text stamp when I spotted the quote in the same set, which seems very apt at the moment and I will be pleased to be taking some rest time while we are away!

 Hoping to link to 
Art Journal Journey - where Hazel has chosen 'Magical Mystery Tour' as her fantastic theme    
and 
More Mixed Media's theme is Anything goes - with optional yellow

 Thanks for looking, I will be home soon with lots of photos hopefully! Chris

    Happy Birthday, dear T. Hope it's as magical as the city you and Chris are visiting right now.

    And of course, the Paris inspired journal page is most impressive. What a fabulous and fascinating way to celebrate a birthday.
