I made this layout with this cool sketch that was provided by Sketchy Thursdays. The sketch called for 3 photos and I had these pic's I took of our pup when we first got her, I'm sure she thought her name was 'Zoe-No!' because that is what she heard all the time! lol! Nothing was safe around her, I'm sure she has wrecked hundred of dollars worth of shoes, cloths, rugs, blankets......and **sigh** is still at it....hmmm, might be time for obedience school!) This was my take on the sketch (I tend to take sketches I work with very literally and pretty much just follow the design without too much improvisation....all I really added was a little corset stitching between the strips of paper) I used the soft and pretty Bo Bunny 'Country Garden Collection" for this one....
I also added one of the lovely new flourishes (Corner Flourish #2) by Dusty Attic. While I normally add some sort of paint or inks to my chipboard pieces, this time I like the color tone the natural chipboard had so I just kept it unadorned.

I like the stitched pieces of paper on the background and I love the center tip of the frame with the touch of lace.
