Scrapbookin' Adventures Sketch Challenge

I sat down to work on the sketch challenge from Scrapbookin' Adventures, fully planning on doing my usual 12x12 layout, when I came across my daughter's 8th birthday pictures. I have a small album (8x8) that I am currently using for the girl's birthday photo layouts. It is a little bigger than the the first album which is just 6x6 and is also how I started scrapbooking. :)

So I shrunk the sketch down to fit an 8x8. It lost a few elements but kept the same feel.

The sketch:

                                                          

My layout:

It is the second page of a 2 page layout. Here they are together:

I am a little behind with posting projects, so you will see a couple more posts from me over the next few days. You'll have to come back to see the embarrassing mistake I made on a card I gave a friend!

Supplies:
Amy Tan - Sketchbook papers
Thickers - Dear Lizzy
