Round Robin April at Swirlydoos

This month the twist is "Spring cleaning" - use at lieast 50% stuff that are at least one year old!
Yes, we all have a lot of that stuff, and I have been going through some old papers and embellishments for this page.
We are also encouraged to use some technique from one of the Swirlydoos videos, and I wanted to try something from last months kit release. You can find it here. I also used a stamping technique on the background from an earlier video, which you find here.
Since I got a new die last week I also had to try that.

I'm first out this month so here is my layout.

We took this photo last summer from the Plataumountain on Svalbard, were you have a great view over Longyear city.
The journaling tells about the name, which is taken from a man who was important for the mining there over 100 years ago.

Both the papers and most of the embellishments are from Swirlydoos July-kit 2012.
Some of the stamping are done with Silks and some with distress ink and glimmermist.
