24 Hour Layout Challenge!

One of the monthly activities at Scrappin-n-Chattin, is the 24 hour layout challenge. You have one day to complete a layout after a sketch and collection is picked for you (based on 3 choices you provide). This month, the following sketch was picked for me to use with Echo Park's Sweet Summertime.

I admit, I didn't care for this sketch - but made it work for me by stretching it to be 2 pages to include more pics (without having to crop them too small). I kept the basic layout of the sketch by using the scalloped border at the bottom and right had side. I also kept the inner square design, top left flower embellishment, and made my title in the center.

You can click the photo to make it larger - the journal reads how my Mom challenged my brother and I to mini golf this summer and the loser had to buy ice cream. Doesn't my brother look thrilled at paying for us?!
