So, let's see that gallery fill up!

Here is your sketch that you can work with to win, Sketch 33:
The design team created some very fun layouts for your inspiration. I love how Hope created a border with photo corners. Such a fun idea! And Carrie's choice to turn this into a circular layout and use strips of patterned paper was just perfect! And look how Chelsea turned the sketch and used her sewing machine to stitch diamonds out of paper onto her page. And Elizabeth got an amazing 8 pictures on her layout! Wow! Just so beautiful, and each so unique!
