CLICK ON TAG TO VIEW FULL SIZE

For this tutorial I am using the wonderful work of Michael Landefeld and you can purchase this work at CILM HERE.

My Soldiers Girl Supplies which includes the dog tags and word art which original comes from my Military Collab kit. If you just want the dog tags and word art for this tut I have zipped them together and you can download from my 4shared HERE. If you would like the whole Military Collab kit you can download that from my 4shared as well HERE.

Template 13 by Missy at Divine Intentionz HERE.

Vix Mask 147 which you can get from her site HERE.

OK as far as the scrap kit, it is a FTU scrap kit, it is a full sized kit so you will have to resize your layers to your liking. I downloaded this kit long ago and have searched high and low for the site that I originally got it from. The kit is called A4LD-LETTERS HOME. It is a kit created by Jessica Lopez from All 4 Love Designs. I've searched every different aspect I could think of to find the site. I emailed the email on the TOU but havent heard back yet. So as of right now I've uploaded the kit to my 4shared and will leave it that way until I find out the site to go to. If you know this info I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
