Sketch #59 12x12

I have to say that this is one of my favorite sketches. I just had to find the right photos to make an example for you guys.



For my example I used the new Zoology Collection from Bo Bunny. For close ups and details visit my blog HERE



Laurie share this beautiful layout. For close ups visit her blog HERE
Check out this page by Shaunery, because even if you don't feel like doing the tags or you have other fun elements in mind, the sketch can still be a great starting point. Visit Shaunery's blog here for lots of close ups.



Elke sent me this beautiful relaxing layout and I just love the stamping that she added to the tag backgrounds. Visit Elke's blog HERE for close ups and other great layouts too. Thanks Elke!
I love this version of the sketch, by Joni Parker. She has precious photos to work with and you can see she has the basic design but took her own spin on it and it is just so perfect. Visit Joni's Blog HERE.

Sketch #58 12x12

This is a sketch that I created after seeing this great page by my good friend Madeline Fox. I loved her page so much that I asked if I could make a sketch for you guys. I hope you like it. I think its a great page for 2 - 4x6 photos and its also a fun place to use some of those journaling spots you have. Visit Madelines blog HERE
Thanks Madeline!!!

Joni sent me this page that she did using MME papers. Visit Joni's Blog Here for more info and lots of other inspiration. Thanks Joni!

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



This is just a fantastic boy page by Joni Parker. I love the whole look of the page. I just want to take her page and put a photo of my son in it! lol Visit Joni's blog here for lots more inspiration

Sketch #56 12x12

For my example I used papers and embellishments by SEI. This is a layout that was in Scrapbook Trends last year so I had pulled it from my blog so I don't have a link for close ups. I just love these photos of tiny little Savvy. When he helps me now its not nearly as cute or productive.


My good friend, Heidi, just sent this layout to me last night and it's just so fantastic! I love the flurry at the bottom of the page and the sparklies with the jewels and snow. Thanks Heidi! Click HERE to go see the close ups and details on Heidi's Blog.


Here's Laurie's version of the sketch. I like that she used 3 photos and her little tickets in the corner are just too cute. Visit Laurie's blog HERE


Look at this fantastic page by Susan. I just love the way she colored her title letters to match! Check out Susan's blog HERE



And here's another great page from Merrick. I really like the papers she chose for her photos. Visit Merrick's blog here for more layout inspiration


Here is a super fun two pager that Tami made by stretching this sketch. Notice the ribbon goes all the way across under the photos to sort of tie it together. Visit Tami's blog here for more details.

Sketch #55

New Sketch and New DCWV stack! I used the new All About Boys Stack for my example, don't you love the colors? my brother is pretty cute too. :) This is a super simple layout but you can add bits here and there in the blank spaces. I used a 4x6" photo but this sketch easily allows for a 5x7" photo in that spot.




Another sweet little boy page - this one is from Joni Parker.
Visit Joni's blog HERE.


Here is another patriotic scouts page from Merrick. She is so good with scouts pages Visit Merrick's blog HERE to see more

Sketch #54 12x12

Since I haven't posted new layouts in awhile, I have decided to make some sketches from some of my older layouts. I had a friend of mine pick a few that she would like to see and I will share them with you this week. Here is the first one, a really fun sketch, but I just realized that you are getting alot of sketches with portrait oriented photos, so I will try to give you a couple with landscape orientation next. :) Have fun and be sure to link me to your layouts!




Joni sent me this frosty layout example. I just love the papers she used.
Visit Joni's blog HERE.


Tami created another one of her great two pagers from this one page sketch. Sometimes she uses the same sketch design twice and maybe turns one of the pages, but this time she actually stretched the design and I love the result! You must visit Tami's blog here for close ups and details, check out her fabric die cut embellishments up close.


My friend, Laurie, sent me her example of this sketch and I think its just totally fun. I dare you not to sing along! If you visit Laurie's blog here you can see close ups as well as a video of this song. :)



Sabrina was sweet enought to send me a link to her layout for this sketch. It's really so cute. Visit Sabrina's blog here to see close ups and some of her other pages.


Merrick sent this totally summery version and just look at the size of that Hawaiian Ice! I want one now.
