Let's Go Layout

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.

Chantilly & Harmonious Patterns stamp sets
Central Park papers
Glacier, Topiary, Pacifica, Ballerina, Poppy & Black cardstock

EMS Sketch Challenge #114 + Inmost Ward Layout

Anyone in need of a new sketch? I wanted to scrap a few more pictures from the Tower of London and decided to create a new sketch featuring 6 uncropped 4' x 6' photos. It's actually a pretty versatile sketch, since either side can be easily used on its own. I used the sketch almost as is, but as always, feel free to adapt it for your needs, and be sure to leave a link to your finished layout in the comments. Enjoy!

The sketch:
