Sketch #65 12x12

I actually created this layout and then made a sketch based on the page for you guys. I thought you might like to try the long banners. The papers are all from the gorgeous new Tradewinds Stack from DCWV (See it HERE) and I wish I could say that the lovely photo is mine, but it is a borrowed photo.



I just received this fantastic layout from Isay. I just love the papers and embellishments she chose. That checked background really makes it feel like fall. Visit her blog HERE

Here is a gorgeous layout by Monique Fox. Visit Monique's gallery HERE.

Sketch #64 12x12

I know you guys always ask for more layouts using landscape oriented photos, so here is another one. And for my friends who are asking for more layouts with one landscape and one portrait (you know who you are :), I am working on it. Those are tricky for me too. LOL! For my example I used the new Basic Grey Out of Print Collection. If you would like to see close ups and details, Visit my Blog HERE.



ok you guys are going to love this! Anita took this sketch and sketch #62 and combined them into one really beautiful 2 page layout! Isn't that a neat idea?! Thanks for sharing your pages, Anita Visit Anita's blog HERE


Jenny just sent me this precious page and I just had to share. I love her papers and use of the banners. Visit Jenny's blog here for more.



here is a page from Shaunery with some cool ribbon edging on the circle. Don't be afraid of texture going under photos, just cut it where it goes under the edge and you don't have to worry about the bump. :) Thanks Shaunery! Visit her blog here.
Joni sent me this totally fun version of the sketch. I think the buttons across the middle are perfect. Visit Joni's Blog HERE

Sketch #63 12x12 and a Cut file!

I know some of you love cut files and probably thought I had given them up but I just haven't felt inspired lately. Well I needed a good border for this page so I made this fleur border. I am giving you a link to the SCUT2 file as well as a .jpg image so you can use it with some of your die cutting machines.





***Here is the link for the Fleur Border SCUT2 file***

***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!

And here is the .jpg image - click the image to enlarge before saving.

Sketch #57 12x12

Do you ever have oversized photos from vacations, landscapes, or family group photos? I have alot of them so I made a sketch that just showcases those large photos with not too much embellishment. Of course it leaves room for you to embellish as much or as little as you like.



For my example I used a photo that is 5 x 8 1/2". For close ups and details, visit my blog HERE



Now for a completely different take on this sketch, look at this adorable page by Geri. This is a perfect example of why its good to use a large photo sometimes. Photos like this are priceless. Visit Geri's blog HERE
