First Birthday 2-Page Layout (ScrapSketch)

I did a two-page layout for the Mess Maker's first birthday because I had so many photos I wanted to include.  I looked at several sketch blogs and decided to use two sketches from ScrapSketch.  These were posted at different times, but I thought the two desings complemented each other really well.  Here are the sketches:

And here is my take on both sketches:

I had to take some creative liberties with both, to accomodate my photos...On the top layout, I added a second photo to the blank space in the sketch.  Because I did so, I needed to move the title down.  On the bottom layout, I had to crop my photos larger than the suggested 3x3 because they were printed in 4x6, so I cropped to 4x4.  Due to a lack of room, I moved the top flourish to the bottom with the other one (by the flower).  I added the layered flowers to this layout so it would complement the other, and then used another scallop frame to record the date, instead of including a second title.  TFL!!!
