Project Life 2016 ~ June 2 (Salzburg, Austria)

You can see I am desperately trying to catch up with my project life, it is November and I am just done with June, sigh....

Project Life 2016

June 2

Salzburg, Austria

 
We took the train from Grafing to Salzburg this morning, it cost Euro 35 for 3 return tickets.
 

Augustin reminded us to sit on the right side of the train, we could see the Alps from a distance even though it is drizzling.....


We took a short cab ride from the train station to the town center, Cafe Tomaselli is our first stop....


located at the Alter Market, we learned that Mozart used to be a frequent guest here....





this is my breakfast at Cafe Tomaselli...


this is Clare's......


we heard that ice cream and dessert are really good here but we have no room after breakfast.....


our next stop is to visit Mozart Birth Place....

 
we enjoy window shopping in Salzburg old town, and we saw this on an umbrella, it really crack me up...


and then we crossed over the river to look for Mozart's Residance....


by this time, I really feels like a dessert, so we stopped at another famous cafe in Salzburg...

Cafe Fürst


they are the original Salzburger Mozartkugel



we are ready to get back to the train station by now, but we couldn't get a cab and decided to walk, we found Mirabell Garden on our way to the train station....


so beautiful, there is no reason not to stop for photos...


the first leg of the train was delayed, and that caused us to missed the connection, so we waited another hour for the train, thank you to my friend Ann, who had chicken rice cooked and waited for us when we get back to her place.

PTI Make it Monday #266 ~ That's a Wrap


I really had lots of fun making my own Christmas wrapping paper....

 
The PTI stamp sets I used to create the wrapping paper are In the meadow, Quilted winter, Mistletoe and holly......

I bought a few new ink pad from PTI last month, they are Green parakeet, Summer sunrise and Pure poppy, and I also used Hawaiian shore on this project....


I found this snowflake die on my craft table, colored and cut from the previous project, perfect to dress this Christmas present up.

 
Thanks for stopping by.....

It's been a while since I last make a 12x12 layout, I am finally back in routine after all those traveling, here's one for....

Challenge Yourself #34


I don't think I have a lot of layout with fall colors, but here's my take on this beautiful fall palette....


I picked a dark brown cardstock for my background and then start working those fall leaves around....


 the sentiment die is from MFT, I absolutely love it....
