7.21 Sketch


Hope you're all keeping cool (or warm, depending on where you are in the world!) this week.  There's record heat in many parts of the United States right now.  Ick.

Thought I'd do a multi-photo layout this week.  I'm loving the varied sizes of pictures.  It was inspired by a Christmas card I received a few years ago. 

Here's some awesome inspiration for your from our amazing Design Team:










This week we're excited that October Afternoon is sponsoring our challenge!!


Up for grabs is a 12x12 kit of their Modern Homemaker line:
