I used the sketch as the left page of my layout, then rotated it to the right for my second page. 80 degrees, sunshine, and my family - my favorite birthday present! I love the photo of my husband playing “sardines” and my son trying to play tennis, even though he had a broken foot! What a fun layout to create on a snowy day – and dream of warmer days to come!
