I can hear music....at TIOT

Hi everyone, I am pleased to report that the cough is slowly easing and I am concentrating better (though hubby would say I'm not)

Our new theme at Try It On Tuesday is 'I Can Hear Music'.

The Design Team have a great range of music choices - please take a look here. 

I wasn't sure what I was going to do until I heard an old Hollies song on the radio the other morning. Immediately the sound of a carousel came into may head (as much as the words of the Hollies song). I love the sound of a real carousel (not the loud modern fairground music of these days)

Last year when we visited Paris we went to Parc Monceau where there was a small carousel - I found the photos and my page was started!

I used Paper Artsy Fresco paints make a patchwork background.
I used two phots of the carousel and then added some papers (including Parc Monceau on an old Paris map.)
The P is for Park! I stamped random flowers from a set I bought a few years ago in Paris.

The new TIOT theme runs fo two weeks - I hope that you will join us with your music entries.

Our latest Paris trip was not what we had hoped for...but...Paris is Paris and I will start to show some photos in my next post!


Thanks for looking, Chris

    Using a carousel is a fantastic idea Chris. And your page is great too. I like how you added photos and the bits of paper. What fun. Hope the couch improves quickly also. But take care please until it does. Hugs-Erika

    A fabulous journal page Chris for our new TioT theme and nice to see the photos from your previous trip to Paris. I also liked seeing the photos you added to your next post you must have been hoping for warmer weather, but as you say we take what we are given. Its good to read you are feeling a bit better, hope each day will be better than the last. Stay safe.

    This is a lovely page that must bring back happy memories from your previous trip to Paris.
    I love your choice of song and it was great that you were able to add the photos of the Carousel.
