Today we are headed to Spain. Or more specifically, Madrid. I'm joining Chris from Pearshapedcrafting, our host this month at Art Journal Journey who wants us to share Where in the World.
Madrid is the capital and most populous city in Spain. It is also the second largest city in the European Union. 
This equestrian statue of King Alfonso XII is found in Retiro Park. 
Interested in history? 
Check out this 550 year old Mendoza Castle. It is one of the best preserved castles in Madrid and Madrid has a LOT of castles. At one time, it was the Residential Palace.
Of course, later tonight, I can also share this face I found on a postage stamp with Nicole and her Friday Face Off. See why postage stamps are so important in my world, Nicole?
I started by combining pink and red Staz-on reinkers and 91% isopropyl alcohol. Once dry, I used my deckle scissors and cut the images I found in travel brochures. I also found a postage stamp in my stash and this journal page about Madrid was born.Bleubeard
and I are thrilled you stopped by today. We always appreciate your
support for our art. We also hope to see you at both Art Journal Journey and Friday Face Off.

Just beautiful - and that stamp is a winner.
Unlike almost everyone I know, I hated my stay in Madrid some years ago. It was one of the most unpleasant months I've ever spent. But I'm really out of sync with others.

Looks like it´s Autumn already!
Love the stamp.
...thanks for taking me along on the trip. Where are we off to next?
I would love to visit Madrid. That castle looks cool. And that is a great postage stamp too. I like how it works on your page. The fun thing about Chris' challenge is there are so many places to visit; they don't even have to be far away. But Madrid would be fun...have a super Thursday. hugs-Erika
Would love to visit
Beautiful. The colors remind me of sunset
Great work!
Such a beautiful place.
Great stamp too.
Lovely page and great memories for me . my aunt used to live in Madrd and i spent lots of holidays there in my misspent youth! Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
Spain would be a beautiful place to visit, wouldn't it?
Looks like a fascinating place to visit! :)
These are beautiful! Makes me want to brush up on my Spanish!
It's a great town, lots to see and hot in the summer.
Enjoy the weekend xx
I love the stamp. I am learning Spanish (in fact for four and a half years I haven't missed a day of Duolingo.) But I am focusing on Latin American Spanish.
That castle is such an imposing edifice!
This is actually a very interesting post. I do love that stamp. My first husband was a Mendoza. I had no idea there was a castle with that name. OMG! 107 at 7PM? I hope you have a good AC. I will check out that other troll park. Have a nice (cool) day today.
I love the postage stamp. A great page Elizabeth.
What a fabulous page Elizabeth. I would enjoy a visit to Madrid I think! A brilliant entry for my AJJ theme! Love the stamp! Hugs,,Chrisx
I'd love to go to Spain, but your virtual trip will do me right now. Nice!
I have been to many places, but not Madrid. Seems like I missed something :)
