Birthday Girl! Including a sketch!!!

This is a layout of my little Jazzy when she turned 1 year old.  The borders on the left and right edges of the photo mat are actually patterned paper in which I cut around the design to create the borders.  I inserted tiny orange brads in the centers of the flowers on the right hand border to pull in some of the orange color from the rest of the layout.  I LOVE to distress papers on my layouts!  My favorite inks to use are the Quick Quotes chalk inks..they have so many colors to choose from and you can swipe on the ink straight from the ink pad! 


Here's the sketch:
