Paper combo layout

I made this layout for a unit challenge. Our task was to use two different paper packs to complete one layout. I used Rough & Tumble and Stardust. The Stickease are from the Stardust kit. I used our Imagine book for the layout idea. This took me 20 minutes from start to finish. You can't beat that!! Click here to see the complete paper packs.

(Pictures are from our weekend trip up to Drummond Island. We had a blast!)
