The Creative Stamper Spot: Scrapbook Challenges sketch 264

Hi all! Well, I was feeling in the mood to scrapbook last night so I found a few photos and went to it. I decided to use the sketch from Scrapbook Challenges for this layout, sketch 264. I really liked it and the examples from the design team. They do such a great job!
Anyway, I love these two photos of my friend Nancy and I. We have a lot of things in common, including our love of paper, scrapbooking, stamping, and so on but we also have a great time going out and doing stuff like we did this summer with our husbands to the DMB concert. I wanted to showcase these two different events in this page and highlight our friendship. I just love how it came out!

I used my Tim Holtz mini rosette die for my rosettes and I am in love! It cut them out so perfectly and it was a cinch to put them together! I also used my pennant punch from Stampin UP and sewed twine in it from the Twinery to hang my banner. I used some border punches for the scallops and my top note die from Stampin UP for the sides of the photo and embossed those with an Stampin UP embossing plate. The buttons on the rosettes are also from Stampin UP. I added the ticket from the concert as a momento:-).

It is based on this sketch:
