Stuck?! Sketches: January 15th Sketch and Reveal

Can you believe that it's already the halfway mark in the month of January? WOAH! We've been tackling some not so fun stomach flus and cough and colds since the beginning of the new year, and I am totally up to set that aside and get some scrapping done! And today's the perfect day as it's another Stuck?! Sketches reveal! Here's the awesome sketch created by the amazing Laura Whitaker:

I flipped it around a few times and designed this:

This is such a special layout for me as it's of a pic of one of my dearest cousins. Not quite six months apart, we pretty much grew up together. We've seen each other through all kinds of situations! I really wanted to find products that conveyed our relationship. And the Basic Grey Plumeria collection was absolutely perfect! A bit worn, a tad girly. Just like Lynn and me. I also added a Cosmo Cricket Tiny Phrase, a Close to My Heart hinge, Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze, old cardboard I particularly loved due to its smaller than usual ridges (which I inked with some Ranger Distress Ink), a bit of stitching using one of my Bazzill Basics stitching templates and some DMS floss, and the chipboard title (also inked) that I remember receiving in a kit of a Trisha Ladouceur class I took ages and ages and ages ago.
