ODBD May Scrapbook Challenge

Hi everyone!!  It's time for the May Our Daily Bread Designs Scrapbook Challenge!!  May is usually a busy month with college graduations, school winding down for the summer, and many school year activities having their closing ceremonies and award programs.  A lot of times we may feel that we're running in circles.  So for May, we decided to challenge you to a sketch challenge with a "twist".  Your challenge for May is to create a layout of any size using Our Daily Bread Designs stamps and the sketch below.

 The twist is...you must also use circles!!  Your layout can be any theme so have fun with it!!  You can turn the sketch, add more than 1 photo, add paint splatters, a doily or buttons for your circles, whatever you like!!! 

For my layout,  I decided to use the sketch as is and add a couple more photos.

The stamps are from the Fortress set, part of the ODBD May release.  This set was perfect for the photos of our visit to Medieval Times in 2006.  I used three of the stamps from the set beneath my photos...the tower image as my focal point, and a scripture on either side of the tower.  To complement the tower image,  I embossed a strip of cardstock using the Tim Holtz Bricked Texture Fades embossing folder and sanded it a bit for a distressed look.  I also distressed the edges of my stamped images, matted them on green cardstock and attached them to the embossed strip with staples.  Screw head brads were the "circle twist" for my page.

Here's a close up of the stamps:
