EMS Sketch 82 + All I Want for Christmas Layout

Today's post has a double helping of scrappy goodness! Not only do I have a brand new double page sketch for you to enjoy, but I was asked to be the December Crazy Cousin over at Double Trouble challenge blog. Please come out and play with either or both challenges! The sketch features 7 full size or slightly cropped 4" x 6" photos, and I embellished with gifts since I was doing a Christmas theme, but you could replace the gifts with hearts for Valentines, stars for July 4th, etc.

The sketch:

Tip: for piece A, choose a paper where the design orientation doesn't matter. That way it won't look upside down when you rotate it to use on the second page!

My layout:

And here's the super fun Double Trouble challenge:
