I know you are probably tired of seeing layouts of Prague and Budapest. I've only got 1200 more photos to scrap from that vacation! I do have a post planned on how I tackle such large projects, in case you've been interested. But for now, I'm sharing a layout of my visit to Mt. St. Helen as part of a work conference I spoke at last year. I've been fascinated with the volcano since I was a kid. I can remember reading in a magazine about 5 years after the eruption about the plants that had started to come back. I never in a million years thought I would have the chance to visit. Two weeks after this visit, to the day, I was standing on top of a mountain in Munich. That's a lot of elevation for this beach girl!
I learned two things about cutting with my Silhouette on this layout:
1. It sure is cute, but cutting and adhering the outline on "Adventure" is a real pain in the butt!
2. In order to cut through Authentique cardstock, you have to set your blade to a much higher number than the software suggests.
I used the negative space from some shapes as the main paper and embellishment for this layout. I love my layers, but I'm really liking the clean feel of this layout.
