Between visits to the Pantheon and Jardin du Luxembourg K and I stopped at a little hole in the wall gelato store, Amorino, for a refreshing break. I love this photo of K – most of our holiday photos are very sensible face forward shots, so this photo is a refreshing break from all that normalcy.

I orignally created this layout with a plain cream background, but it was too stark. I extended the circle motif that was throughout this layout with a doily stamp I picked up at the recent Craft & Quilt Fair. (I’m so proud of myself – I have so many stamps that I never use and I’ve already put this new stamp to good use!).
