My French themed Collages

This is one of the pages

I made for my dear friend

Suzy of

Suziqu's Threadworks

for our French themed

Collage Swap.

The laces, fabric pieces

and trims are some

favorites from

my collection.

I've been waiting to use this

beautiful image of a little

French girl - and my swap with

Suzy was the perfect time.

On the back I created a little

organza and lace pocket

to hold a lavender tag

and an old french postcard

which I picked up at a Brocante

in my daughter's village

when I was in France this year.

Je t'aime label came from 

my friend Lilla

it is perfect for this collage and

I combined it with tulle and lace

for a lovely soft look.

Lilla has a great blog

where she has lots of

amazing on-line

tutorials.

Here is the link for

her etsy shop called

La vie en Rose.

I love this sweet image too

it's from Karen of

The Graphics Fairy

Thank you Karen

you inspire all of us with

your amazing images.

The French label is also

from Karen's collection.

I'm very fond of these old organza

flowers and this one came

from Karla of Karla's Cottage.

Karla collects old hats to

get these exquisite flowers.

She might have some in her 

etsy shop.

I included some pieces of fabric

and laces from my stash

for Suzy

and wrapped it all

in this french themed

paper!

I'm linking to the following parties
