Meeting Nicole

I have been writing to Nicole for over half a century now!!!!!!  This photo was taken when we met for the first time after just quarter of a century in 1983!!
We actually started writing when I was in my first year at senior school and in my French class we were asked if we would like a penfriend in Paris.  At the time I belonged to the IFL - International Friendship League and had penfriends all over the world so another one was good!!  We still correspond although we more often use the internet now and not 'snail' mail!!

 

I am entering the challenges at Archi-scraps and also Pixels and Paper.

Archi-scraps require Vintage and Flourishes......pearl flourishes and definitely vintage!  This is the stimulus picture.....

 

Pixels and Paper have an inspirational picture....


I have obviously gone with Paris and the fact I write to Nicole....albeit emails not paper!!

Both challenges close at the end of the month so lots of time to scrap.....and get inspiration!!!

    What a brilliant page Jackie! I love all the pearl accents and the lace - makes me think of romance, making me think of France. Very special story behind it too - love that!

    What a scrummy lot of beautiful layering you have going on! Perfect scrap of a "vintage" relationship across the miles. Nice that it suits both challenges! Thanks for playing over at Archi-scraps.
