Sketches in Thyme Thursday Takes #49

It's time for a new sketch challenge at Sketches in Thyme, and this week it's another sketch I designed, what do you think of it?

And here's the layout I created:

So I have to tell you- I love the sketch and had such high hopes of what I would create....but I HATE how my LO came out!! I think it's the background color, it's just too dark and you just can't see the pics (and it doesn't help that the quality of the pics isn't all that great to begin with). I normally have a policy that i NEVER re-do layouts, but in this case I think I absolutely have to- I guess since I hated it from the moment I put it together it's ok to re-do....any suggestions?

I hope you'll visit Sketches in Thyme and see what the rest of the Mavens created, because they really did a fabulous job with the sketch!! I hope it inspires you to give the sketch a try and link up your take by June 29th for a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate from The Paper Trail!! =) T
