Sketch #41 and Bracket Square #1


The cut file for today is a very basic shape that is very useful. If you don't have a die cutting machine that will work, just print the shape on the back of your paper and cut by hand. As always, these are in no particular size so I thought I would show you several uses over the next week. My first sketch uses the square around 6" and the frame around 3".

2 page Sketch #8

You asked for more landscape photos on 2 pagers so here is the first one. I will try to come up with some more soon. I didn't add alot of embellishment to the sketch since space is limited and I thought you could add whatever you like. I added banners to my example because there were banners in my photos.



For my example I use all Basic Grey Marrakech collection. For close ups and details CLICK HERE to visit my blog.



My friend, Lisa, from DisneyScrappers was sweet enough to send me her example of this sketch. I love the way she cut the patterned papers for the corners. Visit Lisa's awesome Disney gallery HERE

Sketch #39

This sketch has a 4 piece motif that is really simple and fun to use anywhere on a layout. For this sketch, you need to cut your 4 piece design about 3" square to allow room for the 4x6" photos. ***Be sure to mention SketchSavvy with a link when you use this file.
