This is my 4th layout in my "About Me". I went to Aruba with a friend of mine several years ago.
I never do layouts of myself and I wanted to do an album of places I've been and trips with friends. Plus in 20 years I can look back and re-live the good times.
I used my 3D flowers on this layout. On my blog are several things. There's a video tutorial for my 3D flowers. Sketch and cut file FOR that sketch (013).
I used a couple techniques as well on my embellishments. The link to my blog post can be found at the end of this description.
I used my Cricut's Home Accents for the flourishes , Fabulous Finds and Storybook (top note and the lettering) cartridges.
