I swear, they wrote this with Atlas Shrugged at their elbow!

Love love love this July Commit2Paper kit! These Pancy Pants "Summer Soiree" papers have been so much fun to work with.

Here's our group pic from the San Antonio Retreat, so sorry more of us didn't get to go cause it was a blast! I had seen the main 'serious' photo, but when I was the goofy one, this layout started building itself in my head.

Used three of the patterned papers, one of the cs and added another cs (green) from my stash. Plus some Daisy D rubons, a little help from my computer. The chipboard flourishes (remember those from the SG kit?) were painted orange, then green crackle paint. I had the cb star all painted up but ran out of room! May still see if I can crowd it in there.
