Take me away . . .

I watched an episode "House Hunters International" on HGTV last night where the family was looking for an apartment to buy in Paris.  I was touched by the story of the mom who had just survived Stage 3 breast cancer and moved to Paris because it had always been her dream.  What a heartwarming story!  (I was astounded by the prices of the apartments in Paris, too!)

I recently won a Scrap That! kit because I took part in their April blog hop.  I was very excited to get my kit in the mail yesterday, so I decided to make a layout using the kit and my favorite photo from Paris.  (I wanted to participate in Tracey Sabella's challenge going on at Scrap That!, too! And if you want some beautiful scrappy inspiration, check out her Garden of Grace blog!)  I chose this photo from John's and my trip to Paris back in 2011.  I actually got the chance to live my dream when he was assigned to travel to Paris on a business trip.  I met him in the "City of Lights" after his work was done!

Here are just a few of the photos from that trip back in 2011.  I feel it was the trip of a lifetime for us.

Here is my first glimpse down one of the beautiful streets of Paris:

The Avenue of the Champs-Elysées:

And the Eiffel Tower at night:

So without further ado, I would like to share the layout that I made with my new Serendipity kit from Scrap That!

Here are some close-ups:

I used a favorite Natasha Bedingfield song as my inspiration, too!  It most definitely was a sweet escape!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!  I hope you have a wonderful day.  The weather is supposed to be a little cooler today because of the wind, but it will still feel like Spring!  YEAH!
