Embossing Paste + Shimmer Cardstock + Blends = Holiday Catalog Magic! Angels on Earth

Here is my Mother in Law – She was from Trieste – so stylish, was she not?  This was taken somewhere in Italy before the war.

When I sat down to stamp I was inspired by colors of Italy – and I always think of yellow and green.

Textures. All of the textures – new, old.

I know not everywhere you turn is beautiful – but when you are on holidays – you tend to be in the beautiful places – so more often than not it is beautiful!

These were all taken in late May/early June of 2015.

These last few in Slovenia – where my Father in Law was from – just down the road from Trieste and how my in laws met.

We share partial ownership of the family property with my brother in law – when we posted this picture at the time – so of my daughters friends thought THIS was the house….um, no, lol.

Slovenia is where our First Lady is from.  The Alps are there so you can imagine it is truly beautiful – and not many Americans travel there – it reminds me of Europe as it was when I went when I was younger.  

All of this – color, texture, and ‘old’ went into my card as I sat down to design it – stay tuned for the video!!
