Life Paper Scrapbook - August sketch

 Hello dear friends.  After a little holiday break I'm back with a creative share.  The August sketch is up at Life Paper Scrapbook - with a new large design team - there will be two reveals on two days ☺
Here is the sketch:

 And here's my take on the sketch:

 I stayed true to the sketch and very much enjoyed the layered elements.  Whenever there is a circle element, I tend to go with stamps, black pen or stitching, rather than using a piece of pattern paper - it never seems to work for me.
I adore these pictures that my sister took of my boys ♥ and the set of two worked perfectly for this sketch.
Here are some close-up's:
 My title and some texture using the CW mini circle grid.
 A cluster of embellishments including a fabulous flair
My journalling and a part of the circle element - here I've used a MME stamp from an older collection of last year. I love my stamps ☺
 
Here are all the details for the challenge:
- You can submit ANY kind of project that you can use the sketch for: cards, layouts or anything you can adapt it to. 
- You can use the sketch and colour challenges together just make sure you link it up to each so you have a chance to win in both. 
- August Sketch Challenge runs until 11.59pm 23 August. (Don't forget we are in Australia)
- The winner of the prize will be randomly drawn.
- We will also feature three of the favourite layouts and the selected layouts will be asked to guest design for the next colour challenge. 
You have to be in it to win it so link up your project up on the right please make sure you link to the correct challenge, there is both a sketch and colour challenge to link up to (if you are linking to a blog please link to the actual post the layout is featured in not just the general address) and make sure you link back to Life.Paper.Scrapbook.
