First, lets start with a photo of what I started with...
One sketch that I found on Pinterest, one 5x7 photo, two 5x3 photos, one sheet of 12x12 pattern paper, three sheets of 6x6 pattern paper, two strips of black card stock with a candle border punched out, one "happy birthday" die cut and a set of circle dies, which I was going to use for the circle elements on the sketch.
Once I had my supplies, assembling my layout went petty fast and this is what I ended up with...
I stayed true to the basic design of the sketch, but I feeling the layout could still use some more embellishments. Leave me a comment and let me know what you do think this layout needs to be complete.
