Spellbinders Pieces of Life Layout Tutorial

Hello friends, thank you for stopping by today!  I am have a tutorial for Spellbinders to share with you today - a layout - I love using Spellbinders Dies on layouts - they add so much and definitely help us to personalise our layouts. 

I don't usually like to scrapbook photos of myself but as the 'Memory Keeper' of the family I need to make sure I am included somewhere - and I knew which dies I wanted to use with this photo taken by my DH quite a few years ago - you can see how easy it is as you follow along with the Step by Step Tutorial.
