I'm back with my second sketch challenge for Lasting Memories

 I didn't have enough photos of my son's family celebration or his friends' party, so I combined both events.  I did a few substitutions for pictures with just colored blocks of card stock, especially since I didn't have a 6x4 horizontal photo.

 I picked the colors based on a stash of Creative Memories die-cut embellishments that I was gifted. These birthday-themed die-cuts work great with the photos and are not too hard to match with CM cardstock. The peacock blue block was bold and stood out too much before I framed it with freehand white inkwork.

I moved the journaling to the other page and added a die-cut cluster instead.  I backed the hollow circle with the same blue as the 6x4 block on the other page and popped the cake up with foam.    Also added rhinestones instead of a decorative edge to the shelf.

same layout configuration as the sketch minus two photos

Thanks for stopping by to take a look, and I hope you'll join us at lasting memories
