Here is my submission.  Our first trip to NOLA in 2004.  The photo is from one of those tourist photo booths.  The inspiration for this layout is in the photo.  Some of the historic/iconic things that makes NOLA what it is known for.

I love the textured paper with the fleur de lis!  And all of the details - the carriage in the corner, the street post with Bourbon Street!  Thanks for playing along with my challenge this month!

Here is my submission:


my oldest grandson lives in a town right outside of NOLA. He was in kindergarten this year. In Feb they had a valentine/mardi gras party. This was a dance that they practiced and did at the party. I did the twist as you see 
the fleur de lis border punch. you can see it also embosses but only shows up on the gold foil as it is a thinner
paper and that punch doesn't like thicker paper (OMGoodness! )  The paper is from seriously like 2004 ish... old
Debbie Mum and had New Orleans on it ! Win win!!!  Thanks for the challenge!

I love how you used the traditional Mardi Gras colors with this!  And the punch is awesome!!  Way to use the stash paper as well!  Thanks for playing along with my challenge this month!

here's my first entry   i was inspired by NOLA's rich history (page about my ancestors) and also the city seal, which is round (i have a circle) and features a male and female figure and also gold stars (splatters in my case).  also there's an icon similar to a fleur de lis on the paper combined with sketch 379

I got my  color inspiration from this Mardi Gras  paper


 

[stinkerbelle]

another from me, this time using muted shades of the traditional green, purple and gold of Mardi Gras.

[stinkerbelle]

last one from me and i finally got a fleur de lis on a page    this time i was inspired by NOLA's French heritage; my last name is French so i wrote (hidden journaling) about the origin of the name and used the family crest for my photo.

This is gorgeous!  I love the muted tones you use and the delicate embellishments - the doily, punched border and sequins.  I think the icon is close enough to the fleur de lis to count on this one!
Thanks for playing along with my challenge!

I love how everything ties in to New Orleans on this layout!  The music stencil, the specific New Orleans elements, the Leah's Pralines card... and the punched border on the paper behind the tag reminds me of the wrought iron that's on the balcony of the building in the picture!

Thanks for playing along with my challenge for this month!

Here is my 3rd layout.  Inspiration is from a professional photo taken at Pat O'Brien's Restaurant and Bar in Nov. 2004.  Combined with the June Pick a Day Challenge.



This was such a fun challenge.  I am so happy I got these photos scrapped.  Thank you for hosting.  Looking forward to next month's destination.

This is beautiful!  I love the special embellishments like the die cut lamp post, the word die cuts - especially the Who Dat? and the fleur de lis!  I'm hoping while we are in New Orleans we can take a river boat cruise as well!
Thanks for creating for my challenge this month!

Oh my goodness!  What a perfect baby shower theme!  I love it!  I love the fun alligator and the colors - also how you included the thank you card!

Thanks for accepting my challenge this month and playing along!
