Today I have a layout from our spring break camp trip
down to Sam Houston National Forest. It was a great park, except for one
teeny, tiny, little detail. The place was crawling with poison ivy. 
And I am deathly allergic to poison ivy. 
So instead of hiking at the park, we went into 
town to shop. :o)

I have used Bazzill, Basic Grey,  and some other PP's that are so old I can not even
 tell you what they are! The journal spots are October Afternoon, the chipboard is Leaky Shed 
Studios, washi tape is recollections. 
The sayings are cut from a Bella BLVD page, and I used WOW 
embossing powders along with Tom Holtz stains on the chipboards.
Tsukineko inks, my sewing machine, Echo Park die cuts, Prima Flowers,
MME brads, and some stuff from my stash.

OK,, seriously, I used the same color cardstock for both sides, I photographed them in the same place at the same time, and the are different colors in the photo????? Don't you just love PSE some days?????
I used Spellbinders dies for the sun and for the piece on the far left of the layout, 
and a Sizzix folder to emboss. 

I have used two sketches for this layout Sketchabilities  and Stuck on U Sketches 

Here is Stuck On U Sketches
