A couple of Eiffel Tower memories - one year when we were in Paris in December they had a small ice-skating rink on the first floor of the tower. I don't have a good head for heights anymore ( I'm glad I did get to the top as a teenager, certainly couldn't do it now!) , so it was as much as I could do to climb up that far, the idea of actually skating was too much but DH loved it. And another year we were there doing a bad smog (free public transport for three days, another yay!), and you could only see the tower halfway up, the rest was obscured in the fog. It was pretty cool, actually. The Tour Montparnasse, near where we were staying, was the same.
For this pair of cards I used a free die from a magazine. One was cut from white card and popped up on foam over some Paris themed paper from Trimcraft to make a shaker card. The other was cut from watercolour paper, coloured with Inktense pencils, backed with black card and framed with a double matting in gold.

Both cards are lovely, Sabrina, but the one on the left in neutrals has a lovely Belle Epoque/Art Nouveau feeling with the florals and scrolls. Love the little red heart....I love Paris too...although I don't get there as often as you.
