This one was easy for me. This is what I think if when I think of our once beautiful city. Its over-run with crime now but these oaks will outlast the thugs. Taken as the trees were getting their yearly trim.  I used a silver Fleur de lis on my tag.  https://sbing.com/i/gallery2/542527-700.jpg I lo...

https://sbing.com/i/gallery2/542426-490.jpg https://sbing.com/i/gallery2/542427-490.jpg I love the colors - definitely inspired by New Orleans and Mardi Gras!  And all of the bling and sequins are great!  Love the fleur de lis embellishments as well! Thanks for playing along with my challenge this ...

https://sbing.com/i/gallery2/542401-700.jpg Growing up in Houston, we always ate king cake during Mardi Gras. So that inspired me scrapbooking photos of cake. King cake has sanding sugar in mardi gras colors on it, like the cake in my photo. And I used stickles on my page to mimic the look of sandi...

I do not remember the series, but definitely found New Orleans inspiration at a local restaurant. The French Market Creperie and Cafe and used their logo wth a Fleur and an embossing border punch with Fleurs for the BONUS. So FUN! Combined with June 3-in-a-Row. https://sbing.com/i/gallery2/542225-4...

So when I think of New Orleans, the French Quarter is what pops into my mkind. When I was just in Paris, France I learned that Paris is divided into quarters as well. In the Latin Quarter, we stopped at the Shakespeare & Company bookstore. I did add in a little banner with Fleur de Lis decorati...

Thanks for the challenge to pull out some old NOLA pictures.  My inspiration is their famous beignets!  I think the circle paper is made up of fleur-de-lis patterns. Combined with the title challenge. https://sbing.com/i/gallery2/541306-490.jpg  I love the use of green since it's what I think of wh...
