But I used some doily paper in the upper right corner!

I think the layout is great! I love the color combo, which works with the picture great!!

Love it Pam! I've been loving EVERYONE's interpretation of the sketch. And that's just it - interpretation! I agree that a sketch is a starting point to gain inspiration. Wherever you go from there is up to you. I tend to stay pretty literal, but that's all because of the way my brain works. But every so often I make an adjustment.

I think a lot of sketches these days call for too much "stuff" and not enough focus on the photo/story/memory. But that's just my take. I guess it's the difference between scrapbooking as an art form, and scrapbooking for the sake of archiving. I focus on the latter. Not that there's anything wrong with art for art's sake. Nothing at all. But that's not why I do it. And it's what causes me to stay away from sketches that don't allow for the photos to be the focus.

Pat - she's a beauty! And I love the layout. Nicole would be all over that layout, since she thinks all things pink are the greatest.

Thanks ladies! It helps to have beautiful pictures to work with.

I do not use pink much, so it is fun to have the chance to do so.

What a beautiful layout, Pat. I like the touch of green with all the different shades of pink. Is that a lucky four leaf clover you've tucked behind the flowers?
