Bergamo

Well, it was Bergamo which we disappeared to again for a week a couple of weeks ago. We visit the north of Italy a lot and we particularly love Bergamo. The restaurants are second to none and it feels like a second home because we know it so well. The colours and lighting are lovely at this time of year too, particularly in the old town (photo above). We had a great week and I managed to treat myself to a few more handbags (because I really need more handbags... nope!). We can't believe how quickly the week passed! It was surprisingly warm during the day too - around 26 degrees. It was particularly warm in the evenings and we ate outside for dinner in the evening on a couple of occasions, which was an unexpected surprise.

Above is a photo of one of the cards I made last week (which was inspired, as you can tell, by my trip to Bergamo and the colours of the buildings etc). The paper on the left hand side is by Basic Grey, the scroll stamp and the "grateful" stamps are by Stampin Up! and the stamp on the yellow-ish paper is by Hero Arts. The button is a Making Memories Halloween chipboard button.

The weather in Scotland was lovely today, but it's cold again already now the sun has gone. I do think this is the best weather of all, though - warm but crisp during the day and cold at night. Also, you just can't beat the colours....
