CHA Fun Layout

Hello! It has been a tough month for me to get any scrapping done! UGH!!!!  But I did complete my layout  for Paper Secrets Feb. 15th Sketch with a Twist Challenge.  Here's my layout of my friends (Kristi and Brenda) and I having fun playing dress up at the GCD Studios booth:

I used Ruby Rock It - Paper Doll papers and chipboard, My Minds Eye twine, AC Thickers, Studio Calico wood pieces, and Recollections bling.  I purchased everything (except the bling) from the Paper Secrets Online Shop.  They have great sales all the time! Check them out! 

Here's the Sketch from Page Maps:
