Birthday Card and Paris Address Book by Caroline Rondel

It was my little cousin's Mathilde 5th birthday this month and I always make her a card. I think it will be great for her to look at each birthday card when she will be older!
So this was the perfect occasion to use Buzz and Bloom Rustic Numbers Chipboards!
I made the card out of corrugated cardboard.I painted it very roughly to give a vintage look to it. I colored stripes of book pages and paper with watercolors and glued them on the cardboad. The label is stamped over transparency and attached by the Rustic Number Chipboard.

This month was full of surprises! I met an American friend in Paris for the first time, and I wanted to make something for her. So I thought this would be useful that she has a little booklet with cool addresses of shops, restaurants and sights in Paris, as she was staying there for a week.
So I printed this on thick craft paper (7,5 cm x 15 cm), sorted by areas. Then I decorated the album using the wonderful "le Français expressions" unmounted stamps, from which you can see some examples below:

Here's the cover of the album, I glued squares of different papers.

And here's a page layout... with one of "le Français" stamps ("Bonjour")
