Sketchs: Creatively Yours and Swirlydoos July Kit

Really, here is it past the midpoint of August and what do I have to show for it?  Not much.  What the heck have I been doing, not much scrapping, unfortunately!!  I did manage to get this one done last week for the Friday Sketches: Creatively Yours sketch.  Here's sketch 13-11 created by Ali MacDonald.  Be sure to check out the Sketches Creatively Yours to see all the great LOs created from this sketch. 

And my layout, I flipped the sketch as I thought it worked better this way with my photos.

I used my July Swirlydoos kit that features the Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden and G45 Once Upon a Springtime collections.  I added the Dusty Attic gate, heart doily and letters (from an earlier SDs kit).  I used distress ink to color the flowers on the top picture - it worked amazingly well.  I was just feeling lazy and didn't want to take the time to learn how to do that in PSE.
