365 Cards - Money, City Crafter 5

♥♥♥ ♥♥♥

Well, money is the theme at 365 Cards. Who doesn't like that ?? AND, City Crafter has a Paris challenge, lucky me !

I had some old paper with French money on it. I bought this paper so many years ago - maybe before anyone even made scrapbooks or did cards. (It said 5 cents on it, that is how old it is.) Don't know what I thought I would do with it, but it was so cool I just held onto it. Stuck it in with all my craft stuff.

But today it will shine at long last.

How does Money inspire us ? Well, it inspired me to make a card with a French theme I guess... lol

I have never been to France and will, no doubt, never go there. In my youth it was the ideal. The place to vacation, fashion, food, even bicycles seemed so exotic !

My friend Bill vacationed there recently, and he said it was everything he had imagined.

And isn't Amelie my most favorite movie ??

Truthfully, I would settle for France at Epcot. In fact, I would completely adore that.

Soooo, back to the card. Did some stamping, and created the sentiment in Word, then used a Sensibility die cut to cut it out. In keeping with my continuing week long theme of thank you cards, I made it Merci !!
