Paradise

I finally finished a layout!  This layout is from a challenge site Stuck On U Sketches.  You can go to the site by clicking here.http://stuckonusketches.blogspot.com

This photos is of two of my boys and my niece on their graduation trip to Hawaii many years ago.  I love this photo of them and their handmade leis.


I tried to pretty up the background white cardstock with some glimmer mist and inkpads.  It looks better than plain, but I still don't love it.  I mostly used my Cricut Artbooking cartridge which is only available through CTMH.  I love this cartridge.

The three different borders are from a swap I did a long time ago.
