August sketch at Inspired to Scrap!

I can't believe Summer is over...it's almost OCTOBER already!

Finally I've got my collective stuff together and have been able to post my layout for the August sketch at Inspired to Scrap (no thanks to my Netbook, which crashed, losing all my pics for the past two months...let me introduce you to Google Cloud...if you're not familiar with it...check it out-free storage for all those pics that you don't want ot lose when your hard drive crashes!)  Anyway, here's the sketch (which I really love):

So if you want to play along, please check out the message board over at Inspired to Scrap and upload your layout to the August Monthly challenge thread by nidnight, October 7th. 

Happy Scrappin'!
