Circles


I'm sharing my layout at:

* Scrap Challenge YOUrself ~ #130 Use circles
This photo came to mind when I saw the challenge this week - with a large tyre-shaped archway in the background. I raided my stash of wood veneers and chipboard to find some circle embellishments. I used: Creative Embellishments Bubble Panel chipboard + a really lovely wood veneer piece from Some Assemblage Required.

* Simon Says Wednesday ~ Add some texture
I really like the texture and dimension that the chipboard panel adds to the layout.
