I Don't Lie I Just Embellish!

This layout was done using the file from Chris Durnan. The I Don't Lie file is available for purchase right now at her shop. The papers are from Die Cut With A View Retro Stack. The flowers are 7 Gypsies, the scrolling is Tim Holtz Grnge Board, the crackel paint is Dried Marigold Crackle Paint by Ranger Indsutries. The Berlin Ohio Die Cut was purchased at a scrapbook shop there in town. This layout is of the group of ladies that I went with in March to a weekend scrapbooking retreat in Amish Country. The weekend was filled with laughter and friendship, and lots of shopping as well. I had a wonderful time and am planning on going next year as long as I am not in Florida at that time.

February Sketch Challenge Visual Designs By Chris

Ok here is my entry for the February Sketch Challenge at the forums for Chris Durnan. I love this sketch, and the files that came with it. I used the journaling box cutter file and then the accompaning pen tool file for the lines. It was a breeze to set up, and cut on the Silhouette, and the layout just came together so easily for me this morning. The lettering for the title are using the Curlz font and Smokey Quartz Gemstone Glitter from Martha Stewart. The Tiara is from Magistical Memories and the Patterend Paper is from My Mind's Eye. The cardstock is Bazzil Basics. The flower embellishment is from Petaloo. I used Snow Angel and Autumn Leaves Glimmer Mist to give the flowers a bit of shimmer. I used a lighter to achieve the unique distressing on the top half of the large piece of Patterened Paper.
