February Sketches - It's all about LOVE baby!!

Do you love Valentine's Day as much as I do? I'm not THAT romantic but I really do get spoiled by Mike. He usually doesn't spend a ton of money but he always has a nice little surprise waiting for me. I hope you are inspired by these "love-style" layouts. And of course, you can use them for any occasion by replacing the hearts with your own embellishments.

Check back later this month to see what amazing projects the gals from the A Million Memories Design Team do with these sketches!!

Enjoy!!

~One Page Sketch~

For this sketch you only need 3 4x6 photos, some paper scraps, (heart) embellishments and something for a title. You can add your journaling anywhere or replace one of the large boxes.

~Card Sketch~

The finished size for this card is 8x5" because I thought it would be cool to receive such a huge card. Of course, you can make it any size. And again, replace the hearts and sentiment for any occasion!

January Layouts!

Once again I'd like to thank my friends on the Design Team at A Million Memories for allowing me to post their layouts. They are an amazing group of talented ladies! Here is just a few of their layouts & cards.

Happy New Year!! January 2008 Sketches

WOW!!! I just looked back at my "older" sketches and I've come a long way baby. I have been doing sketches for THREE YEARS now!! Can you believe it? I remember thinking when I saw my first sketch, "Why would someone do that? What would you do with a sketch"? LOL...if only I knew then what I know now.

I hope you are inspired by these sketches. Later this month I'll be adding layouts. Wait until you see what the A Million Memories Design Team did this month....can you say WOW!!! (Ok..that's my new word....I've been using it a lot lately).

~One Page Sketch~

For this sketch I was inspired by all of the gorgeous shaped paper that is on the market. Even shaped cardstock will work just beautifully. There is one 5x7 photo with (5) 2x1.5" supporting photos. There is room for a small title and a cute journaling block. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

~Card Sketch~
Also inspired by shaped paper, this card is perfect for any occasion. The finished size is 5.5 x 5.5 which fits perfectly into a 6x6" square envelope. There is a spot for a simple greeting or any other journaling you might want to add. (I think this would also make a cute cover to a mini album). I hope you are inspired too!

December Layouts!!

Check out the December Layouts!! I have to give a HUGE THANKS to my peeps from the A Million Memories Design Team for allowing me to use their projects on my blog. I love how each project and card truely shows their scrapping style. If you love their work, you should check them out at A Million Memories!!!

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.
