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".

***Be sure to mention SketchSavvy with a link when you use this file. As always, please leave a comment and let me know what you think of the sketch and cut file. Have Fun!

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.
