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!!!

Happy Birthday by Patti Hutchinson





Celebrate by Rebecca Hollfelder

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!

No Pilgrams....just MAY layouts!!!!

I actually made it in time this month!! I want to give a special THANKS to my friends Rebecca and Christine for helping me out with layouts this month. They did a FABULOUS job!!

No MAY flowers...just MAY SKETCHES!!!!

I'm sorry they are a little late but I hope you like them. They were fun to create and are {loosely} based on some of my favorite layouts and cards!

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 can be used for those index prints you have thrown in the drawer. The main photo is 6x6 and there is a strip of index prints 1 x 1 1/4 inches. Lots of patterned paper layering, fun accents and room for journaling. (Your title can go anywhere you want it)!

Two Page Sketch
This simple, yet elegant sketch has room for 4 (6x4) photos. Or you can combine any of the spaces for larger photos. Just a touch of patterned paper and photo corners added to enhance the page. There is room for a large title to balance the patterned paper and photos. Journaling can be added directly to the photos or right on top.

Card Sketch
When I made this sketch I was thinking of something pretty for Mother's Day AND because of May Flowers! There are lots of options here: Large die cut flower, stamped flower, silk flower, chipboard, or handcut. Small, individual spaces are provided for your sentiment or journaling. Finished size is 5.25x5.25 to fit into a square envelope. (This would even make a great layout)!

April Layouts are here!

I'm sorry they are so late. It's been crazy around here lately! I also wanted to say THANKS to some of my friends who helped me out with layouts this month!!

One Page Sketch #1This sketch was inspired by my love for TAGS and for my new Fancy Pants Stamps. You can purchase them here The photo size shown is 6x4 but you can use any size.I think I'm going to use a large tag in place of the horizontal rectangle below the photo. I can also see the large corner embellishments being made with large stamps, rubons, or fancy patterned paper.Flower embellishments are from the Jessica Sprague's CK Free Digital Kit.
Two Page Sketch #1
This sketch has three standard size photos. One 4x6 and two 6x4. It also has room for two smaller photos (2.25x2.25) or an embellishment. There is plenty of room for journaling and a nice size title. You can use your imagination when creating the background with cardstock or patterned paper.

Card Sketch #1This card is just in time for Easter, a Spring Wedding or any other occasion. The finished size is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 (or a half sheet of 8 1/2 x11 paper). The half circle is 2 1/2" and is set just above a small strip of patterned paper or ribbon.
