EMS Sketch Challenge 63 - Cousins & Friends Layout

It's the start of a new month, so I'm excited to be bringing you a new sketch to play with! This sketch features seven pictures and still has plenty of room for embellishments and journaling, plus a little bit of white space. There is a split picture in the middle of the page, but if you don't have a photo that works, you could just use a 4"x 4" on the right hand page and add another 6"x 4" photo to the left page in place of the 4" x 4.5' one. If you decide to use the sketch, please leave a comment below with a link to your blog post; I would love to be able to leave some love for you!

The sketch:
My layout:
Click on the picture to see it full size; it's worth it!!!
Recipe:

Desert Sand, Barn Red, Glacier & Creme Brulee cardstock
Barn Red, Glacier, Cocoa & Creme Brulee ink
Chocolate marker (Zig)
Pearl & Mocha Opaques
Jackson Picture My Life journaling card
Lily White chipboard "&" (Doodlebug Designs)
Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge: "Cousins", hearts, blue flowers
Cricut Artistry cartridge: "Friends"
Flower punches (EK Success & Emaginations)
Challenges: 123 Challenge Blog red + Friends + flowers (my red is a really dark red but it's there!); Scrap Our Stash tic-tac-toe challenge (I chose the diagonal row with a dark shade of red, lots of hearts, and a mixed alphas title); More Than Words Together & ampersand challenge (I journaled about getting together with family, and I added a big chipboard ampersand to my title)
Picture This tic-tac-toe challenge (I chose the bottom row with 2+ pictures, hearts, and a really dark red)

Update: Here is a layout using the sketch from Jamie over at Scrap Queen. Thanks for playing along, Jamie!
