A carriage ride around Seville

Last month I wrote 2 posts about our recent summer holiday in Seville. This is my  promised 3rd and final installment. I wanted to share some final photos from our amazing holiday and I thought the best finale would be to share the carriage ride we took on our last day. We had watched the horses clip clopping along whilst sitting our hotel balcony and also seen the row of licensed carriages waiting in the square behind the cathedral.

Our last day was scorching hot...the temperature was already 32c by 10am and we decided it was too hot to do a long walk but that a carriage ride was the perfect solution. All the carriages are licensed and the fare is fixed. The horses and carriages are kept in perfect condition and when we sat inside everything was leather finished. We were shaded from the sun by a canopy.
The ride lasted about an hour and took us back to all the sights we had seen earlier in the week. It also went through the Maria Luisa Park which we had wanted to explore more. Here are some photos as we clip clopped around the city.

and eventually we were back at the cathedral and our horse took a well deserved break

We really did have the best of times there and these photos still make me smile. When I got home as well as making a couple of Moments for my Journal I also decided to make a tag book to hold some treasured photos. It has been a labour of love and  I would love to share this with you today.
First I gathered together some of my photos, I made them smaller on the computer and printed some in colour and some in sepia. I used a punch to round off their edges.

The colours of Seville are hot hot hot.... so I used my Dylusions sprays to colour my tag pages.

 I added my favourite script stamp, Bronte Verse by Visible Image to every page, together with some Tim Holtz and floral stamps. I added some chit chat words too.

Once I had made my backgrounds I started to make up my pages covering the week that we spent in Seville using some of my favourite photos. I also added some tickets/flyers and maps of place we visited...and even an old Spanish bank note which I bought there.

Here are some of my pages;

I love this view of our balcony

I made a back cover

and a front cover.

I bound it with a Tim Holtz ruler binder, added some green ribbons...and gave it with love to my Hb on our recent wedding anniversary ;0)

 It is so difficult to photograph in it's entirety, but he did love it.

I would like to enter my tag book into the following challenges;

Visible Image anything goes

A Vintage Journey time flies my take on the challenge is showing how a week, which flew by, can be captured forever in a memory book

Die cut divas hot August nights

Our creative corner summertime

Country View Word Play

The Artistic stamper anything goes

Bunny Zoe summer colours 

Stamping Sensations anything goes

Papertake weekly to die for I used dies for one of my frames and for the 2014 on the cover

I am in holiday mode as we are having a little jaunt away with my DD, SIL and Darling Daisy over the bank holiday. It's at a destination where we have not been for at least 18 years...it's in England...and here is a clue...it's near this stretch of water.

Any ideas? ...I always love reading your guesses.

Back some time next week. If you are in the UK enjoy the last bank holiday before Christmas...gulp. Enjoy your week and thanks as always for your kind visits to me here.

Bye for now,

Jane x
