Week 10 Layout Linky + EMS SKetch Challenge 25 - The Real Story Behind the Ruins Layout

I'm really late posting my layout again this week, but I have a great excuse - pneumonia! Yes, I have been in bed all week, coughing, wheezing, chest pains, etc. Not a fun week. I managed to put together a layout in spite of that (plus having my parents-in-law here and a birthday party to plan), so I'm pretty proud of myself. This week, the Heart 2 Heart Challenge blog asked us to create a scene using three or more stamps, which was perfect for this layout. (Actually, I just went back and checked and it was supposed to be a scene on a card, but hopefully they'll forgive my illness-induced confusion!) I used the mountains and clouds from Beautiful Things, the grass from True Happiness, and the bricks from Around the Block, three totally different style stamp sets, yet I think they came together really well. I also used a sketch this week, so feel free to check it out for next week's layout if you like it. Can't wait to see your layouts for week 10, ladies!

The Sketch:

My Layout:
Recipe:
Classmate Alphabet, Extreme Caps, True Happiness, Beautiful Things, Around the Block & Picture Perfect stamp sets
Roughing It stamp set (SU)
Indian Corn Blue, Heavenly Blue, Desert Sand, Autumn Terracotta & Colonial White cardstock

Grey Wool & Bamboo markers

    love your layout and sketch. Sorry you're not feeling well. Dealing with flu bug here too so I completely understand. I'm now going to go tuck in to bed with son #2. This will be the 3rd or 4th night of sleeping in one of their rooms on a mattress on the floor or in their bed... ugh. Praying for you and yours to get well!

    Sorry you are feeling bad! We will be praying for a speedy recovery!

    Any chance you could post without your layout earlier in the week? I keep missing it when it isn't up til Friday! Just a suggestion!
