Joy of Sets Challenge #13 + Windsor Layout

I was invited to be the resident scrapbook layout designer over at Joy of Sets, so this is my first challenge as a design team member! The fun grids always offer lots of options, and this time I chose to use the middle column down with silver, hearts, and floral to scrapbook these photos from Windsor Castle. The silver is a bit hard to see, but there are three silver hearts scattered around the layout.

Here's my layout:
I made a major mistake on my journaling here; we actually entered the Upper Ward through St. George's Gate, and these pictures of the Henry VIII Gateway and the Round Tower were taken outside the castle walls. Sorry, it's been almost three years since we were there!
And here's the grid:
This month, Joy of Sets is being sponsored by Visible Image Stamps, who are offering a £25 gift token to the winner of the challenge. You have until January 31 to participate, and all kinds of projects are welcome, so come play along!

Love your sketch and layout. You captured Windsor beautifully. Good to see you're still offering up wonderful sketche challenges. You'll be seeing me participate again in 2020.

Really nice series of photos. I see that you closely followed the sketch which very much keeps the focus on those photos. The blue pattern papers work really well as they are just about the same colour as the sky. Cute little banner. Well done. TFS.
