And here is my take on it:
Subject matter: Bill (of course). He really is a fisherman, through and through. Absolutely loves it. There has never been any instance of Bill wetting a line without reeling in a fish...or two...or ten...or twenty. Every single time, he catches something. His very favorite place to fish is the Miracle Mile in Wyoming (a good 5-hour drive from home), but...the fish there are (extra) huge for some reason. And, boy are they good eating! I always wish he could fish a little closer to home. This is Colorado...gosh darn it!!
(Technical) notes on the layout vs. the sketch:
If you'll notice, the little photos are supposed to be 2" x 2". Well, I just couldn't bring myself to cut them any smaller. They ended up at 2" x 3" which meant they were too large for inside the border area. I "filled" in about 1.5" of extra space with the fisherman word paper (TPC Studio, Reel Me In). The cute confetti circles (Little Yellow Bicycle) came that way. I did not sew them!
Hmmm....makes me want to go camping!!
Just so beautiful and creative.

Although there is not family history of fishing, my son, my nephew and my son-in-law are bonded together as relatives, as long-time friends, and also as fishermen! They all profess that a day fishing and catching nothing is better than a day of not fishing! Here, you have taken a great range of similar photos and made them come together like pages of a good book! You began with a great layout, cool photos and perfect elements and have created something very special!
