Notre Dame de Paris

I am FINALLY back on the LOAD bandwagon!  Today's prompt was colors, and the inspiration was the Australian flag, which is red, white, and blue.  I decided to focus on blue, as I found the background paper in my travel destinations papers last week.

I used the February Sketchy Saturday sketch from Paper Issues and completely flipped it, since I wanted to use the printed words on the paper as my title.

I'm really enjoying going back and scrapping photos from my Europe trips.  It's so much fun to reminisce!
