Celebrate ~ Sketchabilities No. 74

Hi everyone!!  Today is sort of a sad day for me.... This will be my last post as a DT member for Sketchabilities... :o(   In fact this is the last challenge over at Sketchabilities for the summer.  Blog Owner, Karan Gerber, has decided to take a little break --  But don't worry, hopefully Karan will be doing a DT Call in August and we can all start scrapping those beautiful sketches of hers again!!

Okay, no more sad news...  Let's take a look at the sketch for the next 2 weeks...

   Here it is...

 

For this layout I decided to use some of GD Savannah's Birthday photos!!!  She is such a ham when there is a camera around... But it makes for some fun photos!!!!

Here are some close ups!!!
