"The Year of Lasts" Layout ~ Paper Secrets Sketch Challenge

Sharing a layout I created for the latest Sketch Challenge at

Paper Secrets

The twist is to use leaves...I forgot about the twist until the layout was completed but found this cute little cardstock sticker with flowers and a couple of leaves, I know it is a little chintzy, but it works.  

My layout was further inspired by the following challenges:

Frosted Designs ~ "Tag Your It" Challenge

and 

Scrapbook Circle ~ "Confetti Couture" Challenge

Also entering this layout into the

Sketches4All ~ Clusters Challenge

Here is the sketch by Kelly Holifield:
