Love this because you could use those squares for pics, papers and embellies, or both! Had a blast with this one. 
For the small squares, I used a photomat file from my Silhouette Library. When I opened the file I "ungrouped" the shapes and selected one square to measure the opening. Then I adjusted the size to make each square roughly 2.25". My pics came out a wee bit smaller than that so I mounted each pic on a piece of white cardstock after I rounded the corners to match the frame. Easy Peasy. Then I searched my scraproom for the perfect embellies. I love using stars but in all honesty, I've used a lot of my stash. Found these old AC chipboard ones in a small container hidden in my room. I added a few corduroy buttons from Stampin Up and some twine to give them more life. The background paper(sassafrass lass) is quite busy and it can be hard to use paper like that. Decided to give it a try since its so cute, using the solid cardstock really tones it down....well, a little bit at least.
So thank you to Kristine at Creative Scrappers for letting me join your team! Please check out their blog for the other designers take on the sketch!
I used AC mustard Zing to create the butterfly with a Jenni Bowlin stamp. The pink postage stamp and the "beautiful" definition were print and cuts from my silhouette that I had laying around.
Hey again, I can't believe its time again for another
And my take on it:
And here is my take on it:
And just a close up of the layers. So check out everyone else's take on the sketch and even try it yourself :) 
Had such a great time putting this page together. My daughter Kendall and my nephew Nathan are only 6 weeks apart and this super close bond, even though they don't see each other a lot. I loved the colors of these JBS papers, they just seemed to fit the theme. The circle diecut under the left picture was made with my Silhouette and the flowers were made with my Tim Holtz rossette diecut. I have a million of those badges that I've been hoarding, so I thought they'd look cute in the flower centers. This was the awesome sketch that I was given to work with :) 
I just love sketches, they are my favorite tool! They save me a lot of time from trying to figure out how the layout of my page will be. I'm really looking forward to the other designer's take on this sketch, so please visit Creative Scrappers 
I scrapped these pics before but wanted to redo the page cause it was full of super dark Chatterbox paper and lacked brightness. I'm not one to redo pages but this event was too important. I loved the doily look on the sketch and thought its be perfect. I also wanted to try my hand at layering...I tend not to use too many embellies on my page because its hard to place them sometimes without looking overdone. 
In that bottom pic, all three of us girls were pregnant. My sister is on the left expecting my nephew Nathan and my neighbor Cindy is in the middle expecting Kendall's friend Abby. Kendall was born in February, Nathan in March, and Abby in April, LOL. I love that pic!
I wanted the layout to display some of my favorite products (bright colored paper, stamps, border punches, and thickers) and colors. I am a huge fan of gray and turquoise and I just love the look of yellow on my pages lately. I'm also crazy about the Delovely line from Cosmo Cricket, such fun colors. 
Oh, and BTW, I don't Tweet, I facebook but "Tweets" looked so much better, plus I could use my bird embellishment and stamp :)Thanks for looking!Supplies Used:
