_____
Only Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and "a right far piece." They also know that "just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20.

San Antonio
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.

Well the top tier has a little room on it, but I'm out of clips!!! Just to keep Kylie from feeling so bad.
Although I should shoot her for posting that Clip-It-Up makes an extension for the top! That is exactly what I've been saying I need, now I'll have to get it.
