Here is the sketch that we all used:
![August sketch[1]](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_xPv8Esjm7ju3r_sUnXVVyjAYI2QZNIgAdAZGQ2UWSEaOfePe67dzEDOLet8xTLeOy5cl_lXLT8Jp4iB2iPDh6gUjwugS1fgM1CG3cg0krh-2jXhNx_p9F2IuTkwiwi_CETUKYj1SNaap/s1600-h/August%252520sketch%25255B1%25255D%25255B5%25255D.jpg "August sketch[1]")
And here is my layout based on the sketch:
I changed up the orientation of the photos and moved the title but I stuck to the basic design as far as the placement of the papers and embellies. This is the second layout I have made with the My Minds Eye American Made line they released a few months ago. I don’t have many photos of myself in uniform so I do cherish the ones that I do have and wanted to get these put away.
I used some pretty ribbons to soften the page and some black Rainboots Thickers (my most favorite font of all the Thickers) for the title. The flower is punched circles from tissue paper and I used a little bit of Stickles to help define the edges.
