This is one of the rare times that I wish I was still in grade school. I have an amazing topic to talk about when the teacher asks...what did you do on March Break...I went to Italy!! :)
My daughter's high school soccer team had the amazing opportunity to travel to Italy, see a prfessional soccer match and actually play soccer in Italy with 2 teams! It was the trip of a lifetime...and I got to tag along!
Here are a few highlights...
 |
| The Vatican...we attended mass in one of the smaller chapels. Amazing. |
 |
| A fountain, somewhere in Rome... |
 |
| I fell in love with the doors of Italy. |
 |
| Trevi Fountain...we made a wish...or two! |
 |
| The Panteon |
 |
| Such prettiness everywhere! |
 |
| Vatican Museum...Breathtaking! |
 |
| Arch of Constantine |
 |
| Colosseum |
 |
| Forum and ruins |
 |
| Gelato...it's a good thing we did so much walking! |
 |
| Juliet's balcony, Verona |
 |
| The purpose of the whole trip...soccer with 2 Italian teams, Milan. We won 1 and lost 1. |
 |
| Lazise, Lake Garda...I could have stayed here for days but we only had an hour. |
 |
And a gondola ride in Venice...priceless!
I'm still in awe...
|
Ok, back to the real world....(it's hard, though!)
Here's today's card made for the challenge at
CAS-ual Friday blog. The challenge is Bold and Beautiful, to use pastels with black.
Embossing folder is from Sizzix, patterned paper and stickers are from Stampin' UP!. I bought these at the LSS garage sale so I am guessing they are not current. Brad is from Making Memories, sticker is from SRM.
Thanks for dropping by, hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Thanks so much for sharing your AWESOME trip, Ivanke. My son went with the Latin class to Italy last March Break. So the scenery looks "familiar" to me. I still haven't been...yet! Someday, huh? I love how you showcase the flower over the card stock. Really striking and beautiful! So glad that you took the time to play with us after such an amazing trip!

Hi, Ivanka. I finally got over to see your photos from Italy! Wonderful! I'm glad you had a great trip--even though it was a whirlwind. I'll bet the soccer girls were pretty thrilled at the chance. Thanks for sharing (and I like your card, too!).
