I used the sketch as the left page of my layout, then rotated it to the right for my second page. 80 degrees,sunshine, and my family - my favorite birthday present! I love the photo of my husband playing “sardines” and my son trying to play tennis, even though he had a broken foot! What a fun layout to create on a snowy day – and dream of warmer days to come!

Use 2 “Little Lady” Fine Flowers Papers (B side) for the background. 2. Cut 2 pieces each of: 6” x 12” “So Sweet” Herringbone Paper (B side), 3” x 12” “Joy” Crocheted Paper (B side), 1 1/4” x 12” “Play” Silly Striped Paper. Adhere to both pages, overlapping the edges just a bit. Cut 3” off of “So Sweet” Plaid Die Cut Paper (B side), and tuck it under the edge of the orange Herringbone Paper (cut in half where the pages meet). Sew its edges before adhering to the page. 3. Cut a 2 1/2” x 12” piece of “Joy” Wood grain Paper and a 6” x 12” of the B side. Adhere to the right side of the right page. 4.
