sketch layout.... double...

howdy.. this is a lo for our local scrap group for this month..it was a sketch..i changed it..SURPRISE>... i swapped the two sides around and then played with the sizes of the photos on the right hand side..{supposed to be 9 - 2"x2".. the grid was way too much for me..ZITCHES}

so i know one of the firies from the kitchener st station and she asked me to take some pics before they tore down the old building.. it was rather fun... {oh and heaps more pics taken but these were the only ones that i have printed.lol.}

please help..?

well i've done a layout and i'm not totally sure that its finished yet.. i'm not exactly sure what its missing but if you have any suggestions i'm more than willing to hear them...
so here it is..

had to include a Lil Red Rocket button and butterfly or two.. LOL..
some height in these flowers but they are fun.

it started out as a single curl then grew.. i think its this bit that i'm not totally happy with... oh and Tracey gave me the little girl button that she got at kitty robot.. cute..
yep more butterflies. they work so well..
journalling is .. this pic was taken of you when you were about 8 months old & today you are almost 2 1/2, my time has flown but looking back over all the things that have happened to you i realise what a strong little miss you really are. but no matter what you are still melt my heart everytime i look at you, my princess Ivy.

oh and by the way have i mentioned that it is freezing here today.. they predicted a top of 15 but before i heard that it was 12 and that was before it rained so now it is definately Freezing...

thanks for looking and please help if you can...
