I am a sucker for a double page sketch, so I was very excited to see a double pager on the Sketches in Thyme Facebook group this month. Although I had 9 photos, far more than the sketch called for, I made it work by using Flip-Flaps to hold 4 additional vertical photos. The vertical photo and the card with the bicycle on it both lift up to reveal more 3 photos. Score! The sketch also inspired me to fire up Cricut Design Space to create the slightly off-center ring, and I think it makes a great focal point for the layout.

Wow, great use of the Flip-Flaps! Wonderful double layout with so many fun pictures and elements. Love the colors. Thanks so much for sharing with us at The Outlawz Anything but a Card, Katrina
Hello, Cheryl!! What a terrific two page spread visual story about the bike ride!! The sketch's large circle helps to mimic all the bike tires and adding some smaller circles in the clusters just increases the geometric appeal! I loved looking for the tiny hearts added in those cluster embellishments! Thanks for creating and sharing for Heart's Quest #86!!! -- Becca S
