December Sketches

Well....it's that time of year when things get a little crazy. This month, I only had a few minutes to put together a one page sketch and a card sketch. If I get a chance, I'll try to post a two page sketch later in the month. ENJOY!!!

~One Page Sketch~

This sketch is perfect for that one special photo with a smaller space for an accent photo or other special memorabilia. There is room for journaling and a long title, which wraps around the smaller photo. You can add your own embellishments but I decided that birds are hot so I went with the bird. Don't you just love it!

~Card Sketch~

I thought it would be fun to keep the card sketch simple so that you can use it for your holiday cards. I'm sure you have plenty of scraps and leftover embellishments taht would work perfectly where the small accent circles go. Finished size: 9x4".

November Sketch and Layouts

Well....it's been a busy season so I only have a one page sketch for you this month but I do have lots of layouts from my SCRAP START Design Team friends at A Million Memories. Enjoy!!!

This sketch is perfect for your favorite 5x7 photo and (6) 2x2 supporting photos or other embellishments. You have plenty of space for journaling and a cool tag makes up the title.

I just love how Kimmi used all photos on the sketch and how Michelle used patterned paper to fill the 2x2 squares. I made a digital layout and used elements from Erica Hernandez's Phonetically Phloral line from 2peas. And don't you love how Amy creatively flipped the sketch on its side to suit her photos?

I'm BAAAACK!!! OCTOBER Sketches!!

Thanks to everyone who emailed me to make sure I was ok. I just took a little break from the sketches for August and September. It was just VERY busy around here (and I was enjoying the pool with the kiddos)!!

So....I hope it was worth the wait. Here are your OCTOBER 2007 sketches!! Make sure you email me if you did a layout and want me to post it here. There may even be a RAK involved!!!!


~One Page Sketch~
I made this one page sketche for the Premiere Issue of the A Million Memories Newsletter. Make sure you check it out to see what the AWESOME Design Team did with it! I was inspired by my SCRAPS for this layout. You can use all sorts of patterned paper or ribbons here. You can use flowers or any other embellishment. There is room for (1) 5x7 photo and (2) 3x3 photos. The journal box is also big enough for your writing or a cool poem. ENJOY!!







~TwoPage Sketch~
It's been a while since I actually USED a two page layout. This one is PERFECT for pictures I have of Vanessa (check back later this month for the actual layout). Again, you have room for some of your favorite patterned papers. There is (1) 5x7 (or larger) photo as the focal point and then (3) 5.25 x 3.5 (approx) supporting photos. There is a LONG title which goes across both pages to add balance and tie it all together. A small journaling block near the focal point adds interest. I didn't put any embellishments so I can't wait to see what you add to this sketch!!






~One Page Sketch~
This may not look like much but I can't wait to see what you create. I made a card similar to this with lots of scraps and a large quote sticker. I hope this inspires you and I can't wait to see what you do with it. Finished size 5.25x5.25.

Woohoo!! JULY Sketches

July sketches are here! I had fun creating these sketches and can't wait to start using them. I hope you do too. I'd love to hear what you think. Thank a second and leave a comment! (You can also make requests for sketches if you have any).

Remember!!! If you'd like to see your work published here, just leave a comment so I can contact you for your file.


~One Page Sketch~
This is a fun layout with three photos, a large title and strips of journaling. The circles can be embellishments, patterned paper or more photos. Have fun!




~BONUS - One Page Sketch~
Another FUN sketch. This sketch was inspired by the A Million Memories - Extreme Boy kit (using Junkitz paper) but it can be used for any cool patterned paper. There are 3 large photo blocks, a large title, journaling strips, and lots of layering of your favorite paper. Enjoy!




~Two Page Sketch~
This layout is based on a very old sketch I did for a contest at The Scrapbook Site. On the left side there is one large photo with a large title to balance it. The layout is balanced with three photos and matching journaling boxes on the right side. Add your own flair with patterned paper and embellishments. Or maybe even digital!!



~Card Sketch~
This sketch is similar to the June sketch except I replaced the sections with circles. You can do what you want but my inspiration came from all of the transparency projects I've been seeing. I think I'm going to pull out some stamps and transparencies for this one!! Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Finally.....JUNE Layouts!

Sorry for the delay....it's been a crazy month. I want to thank my friends Tricia, Melissa, Rebecca and Jenni for creating layouts this month. YOU RAWK!!!

Family Time!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we're taking some needed vacation!! So, the June Layouts and then July Sketches should be up sometime after the 9th!!

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!! God Bless the USA!!!

JUNE Sketches have arrived!!!

June sketches are here! I really love these sketches this month and hope you do too. Remember!!! If you'd like to see your work published here, just leave a comment so I can contact you for your file.

~One Page Sketch~

This sketch may be a little challenging for you this month. The circle is approximately 9 inches and holds a collage of photos and journaling. You can lay out your collage in your photo editing software or just crop them to fit. The upper left section is approximately 5x7. You can fill all of the sections with photos, patterned paper or journaling. There is room for a good sized title to balance the large circle. You can add anything you want to the corners. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

~Two Page Sketch~

This two page sketch is perfect for all of those 4x6 photos you have. I think I'm going to use it for all of the Disneyworld pictures I have just waiting to be scrapped!! There is room for 6 photos or journaling. Add your favorites scraps of patterned paper and finish with a simple title to make this a fabulous layout!

~Card Sketch~

This card sketch is ideal for using up your scraps. The finished size is 4.25 x 5.5 which is just an 8.5x11 sheet of paper cut in half and folded. Add three scraps, a piece of ribbon or patterned paper and your sentiment and you are finished!
