Prima August Build A Page Sketch

I am ashamed to say that this is my first time submitting my work to Prima's Monthly Build A Page challenge but I've been wanting to for so long and always come up with a million other projects and it ends up going on the back burner. This month I took the plunge and have decided to do this monthly for sure!!!
Here is the sketch:
