The Goose Island Oak ~ Stuck On U Sketches

Hi everyone!!  Happy Friday..  I've been MIA lately and I apologize for that, but this is my first summer being a "cowgirl" literally, and I have to make sure my cows have plenty of water during these hot summer days and I'm also feeding them a little so they won't eat up all of the grass...  So what I'm trying to say is - I'm spending a lot of time over at the farm and not much time in my scrap studio!!!   :o(

But, not to worry, I have a reveal for today's new sketch over at Stuck On U Sketches and this sketch will make you think just a little...  Anyway it did me....  But not to worry because we have lots of  inspiration from the Design Team over at SOUS.. 

Here's my layout!!!

AND

Here's Leah's original sketch...

As you can see I flipped mine since I was using a large photo of an "old" oak tree, I wanted it too look like we were sitting under it instead of on top of it....   Also you can see I just cut up an 8 1/2" by 11" photo for my photo collage instead of using a lot of different small photos... 

I also wanted to use the statistics of this old tree on the layout, but I would have to make it quite large for you to be able to read it..... So I've added it on the back.. (Click on photo to see the whole plaque)

Here are a few close ups...

Here you can see a close up of the photo collage and distressed edges....

Distressed Edges, Decorative Oval Frame, 3-D Butterfly Sticker, Prima Say It In Crystals, Feathers, and Petaloo Flowers.

Distressed Edges, Petaloo Flower Cluster, Lace Ribbon, and Feathers....
