A little French ...

When I saw the October challenge over on Gauche Alchemy I got excited ... not only because I really loved the moodboard but also because I knew I had THE perfect paper to work with and THE perfect theme to use.

I have had these paper die cuts strips in my stash like forever - I never knew quite what to do with them - they were of a really specific genre, time period and theme and they just sat there looking at me.  Whatever I used them for had to be a little quirky, a little old fashioned and decidedly French.

and then October at Gauche came along and we'll it all fell neatly into place.

Moulin Rouge in Paris ... a little quirky, a little old fashioned and most definitely a whole lot of French !!
