Family Fun Times 2016 Layout

I knew I wanted to do something special with this photo of me and my younger kids with their bio-brother and his adoptive family, so Sketch 501 from Sketches in Thyme seemed like a great place to begin. However, since I started with a larger photo, by the time I got all the layers added, it seemed too large for the tilt, so I straightened it out. Kinda bummed because I liked the tilt, but a gal's gotta go with what works for her photo, right? I also played along with the Baker's Dozen Challenge over at Scrapbooks.com. Here's the list; can you find where I put everything?
