July 4th sketch challenge

I haven't had time to play with the bi-weekly sketch challenges lately so I really wanted to play today. Lesley created this sketch for us. It's an 8 x 8 layout which I don't usually do but it was a fun challenge for me!

For the 4th of July, we went to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena to watch a Drum and Bugle Corp exhibition and then saw an amazing fireworks display. I printed off a few of the pictures for this layout. Please link back your layout if you get a chance to try this challenge!
