This is my take on the second sketch over at www.stuckonusketches.blogspot.com
However - I am too late to submit.....
The beginning of the week was work, my shifts are all over the place, including weekends, as a nurse we never work the same shifts two weeks in a row (why has nursing always been this way) - and by the middle of the week I was beginning to suffer from the flu......
I just felt so awful, stuffed head, aching muscles, just couldn't get it together at all - so spent a couple of days in bed feeling really sorry for myself, as one does, and then voila, finished the layout, and Mr Linky was closed.....

The papers are MME Front Porch collection.
The title was cut on Cricut using Cursive 101 at 1 1/2"
The two flourishes are from Home Decor at 2 1/2" and 3".
The scalloped frame around the photo was from an old Sizzix die which I put through my Big Shot.
I am now going to get started on sketch # 3 before anything happens.....

Jane, This is absolutely fabulous! Precious photo .. I love it! And so perfect for this sketch! Your papers are gorgeous, too. MME is one of my faves! Glad you're feeling better. The DT can all relate to you this week! Hope to see you back!
Jane,
What a beautiful layout - it was perfect for the sketch, truly!
I'm sorry you have to work wonky shifts - you must be a LOT younger than I am - I couldn't do it. I'm convinced - anything out of my routine and I'm just "stick-a-fork-in-me-DONE"!
