this is a layout that I've challenged myself in to doing. There is only a cardstock, a photograph, inks, paints, pens, embossing powders and chalks only. No pattern papers, embellishments or stamping. It's a difficult challenge for me but I'm glad that I've done it. For more close-ups and a very detail step by step explanations to this layout, you can refer to scrapperlicious.blogspot.com
