A Sketch and a Layout!

So there's a new sketch. I made it for a 12x12 layout with 4 approx 4x6" photos. I used it for the Circus page below. I layered 2 patterned papers on top of card stock, and cut large scallops into the bottom one. I chose to mat only 2 of the photos instead of all four and I embellished with bright colored buttons, orange vintage rickrack, and orange pom pom trim. Everything is so bright and colorful I wanted to keep the page on the simple side so it wouldn't be too overwhelming. Of course, this sketch is just a starting point to jump your own creativity, so get scrapping and make your own version! I'd love to see your interpretations so send me a link or a photo!
