Sketch #51 12x12

A few people have requested layouts using bigger photos because it really is tough to use those 5x7 and 4x6 photos on the same page and still have room for a bit of embellishment. I decided a big shape thrown in would work with the big photo too. Think of shapes like a sunshine, flower, snowflake, christmas tree...


For my example I did crop my photos down a bit. They had wasted space in them and I wanted a really big snowflake to fit. :) My photos are 5x6" and 4x5" but the larger photos will fit just as well. For close ups of my page visit my blog HERE.


Joni Parker sent this totally fun example layout. Isn't the star just perfect! Visit Joni's blog HERE to see more of her work. Thanks Joni!


This is Angela's example and I really love her stitching at the top and bottom, its a great touch. Visit Angela's blog to see more of her beautiful photography and layouts.

    I like that page a lot. I have a bunch of 5x7 & 4x6 mixes from Rob's last trip to Hawaii. I will have to keep this sketch in mind. a big hibiscus, surf board or palm tree would look equally as nice (I do love all your snowflakes though!)

    Fab sketch! I don't have a ton of bigger photos but it's always nice to see them being used in a way that is appealing.
