I was in Paris as a newlywed, the fall of 1971. My husband had just completed a job for Pan Am Airways and we had arranged to meet at Orly Airport. Can you imagine all the wonderful sights to see? Just to name a few: Eiffel Tower, Champs-Elysees, Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Sacre-Coeur in Montmarte.
When I found "
God is First," I knew it was one that would bring back some really nice memories! It's this month's inspirational card for
Cute as a Button Stamps.
Here are some old photos to prove it:

My Parisian image was colored in Prismacolor Pencils and a blender marker. A scene from the Craftscapes Parisian Spring digikit was merged with the colored image in the Craft Artist 2 program.
