New Layout - Grandpa is Crazy in Love with Me (30/31)

Yep...it's me again,

Here is another layout for the Paper Issues Winter Crop challenge.  For the left side, I stopped in Paris and created a layout of love between a grandpa and granddaughter.  For the right side, I stopped in New Orleans. For New Orleans I used the festival of my FIL's 80th birthday event.

I used a kit from Out on a Limb and added ink, CTMH shimmer brushes, pop dots, month label stickers from Elle's Studio, chipboard labels from Elle's Studio, puffy stickers from Elle's Studio, and chipboard stickers from Elle's Studio.
