Well this is one of those layouts that went in a totally different direction than I thought it would. The picture is of Marin last fall at the Saginaw Children's Zoo. She was lagging behind and when I stopped to look back she had actually stopped to smell the flowers. How cute is that! So of course I very quickly picked up my camera and started snapping pictures.
I LOVE this layout but it's not a very "me" layout. Lot's of distressing and rolling edges, things I love when looking at other layouts! The flowers are Prima except for the big one is from UmWow Studio's Etsy Shop (Isn't it fabulous?!) And I'm also thrilled to say that I finally have some paper doilies!!! Oh and I even stamped the banner on this, and I never stamp (I'm more of a stamp collector not a user). The only thing I don't like about this layout is that it's not based on a sketch or any other challenge...sigh, maybe next time.

Even though this layout is not your style (as you said), but it is as beautiful, the pic is just too precious!!!
This page is absolutely gorgeous Lea! I love everything about it - the colors, the distressing, the flowers & doilie (aren't DeeDee's flowers lovely?!?)
I think it is a good thing to do a page that comes completely from you and isn't based on someone else's sketch or color combination, because then you can take credit for absolutely every beautiful detail.

I think this turned out great. I wouldn't worry that it doesn't qualify for a sketch or challenge, it's fun to just create!
