All of 13

 Happy Monday everyone! It's time for the last sketch reveal of the month at Let's Get Sketchy, and we have another fabulous sketch designed by Ashley Horton to get your mojo going.
 Here's the page that I created based off the sketch
For this page I used  "This & That" papers and journal cards by Echo Park, with misc. embellies mixed in. Originally, my page started off looking a lot different than it ended up. That's just the way it works sometimes, right? I had fewer layers and they were more spread out. The sketch shows the possibility for 3 photos, which I never seem to have, so I was planning on using 2 of the journal cards in place of the photos I didn't have. Well even after fiddling with it for almost an hour it still felt too boxy to me. So I moved all the layers closer, adding some doilies and paper tearing to soften the edges a bit. And this is what I ended up with, which I'm pretty happy with.
All in all I had a lot of fun working with the sketch and I hope you do too. Just be sure to link your project back here so we can come admire your work, as well as get a chance to win a gift card from Creative Embellishments

Thanks so much for spending some of your time with me and your lovely comments! I truly appreciate it. Have an awesome day!
