Sketch #75 12x12

Today I have another sketch that was completely inspired by a layout by my super creative friend, http://bayoubytes.blogspot.com/. I just see her pages and want them to be sketches and she very kindly agrees. Thanks Madeline!!! The example below is the page that inspired the sketch and Madeline used some fun October Afternoon papers - for details visit her blog HERE. I know you guys love pennant shapes so have fun with this one!

Li-bee-ti just sent me the cutest layout for this sketch. It's a totally different look but oh so cute. Check out her blog here.

Sketch #74 12 x 12"

One more sketch today. This time with two landscape photos. I know many of you would like to see more 2 and 3 photo layouts.

and here is my example. I made the circle design into a sunshine and used some clouds for the star elements.

Merrick sent us her version and she increased to 3 photos, which is very cool. Check out Merrick's Blog HERE.

Sketch #73 12 x12"

Todays Sketch is a bit of a cheat. My good friend Madeline Fox created this gorgeous layout using the Be Amazing Kit from Scraptastic Club and I loved it sooooo much that I asked if I could make a sketch based on the page. She was kind enough to say yes so you guys will get to give it a go. I know I will!

Libeeti sent me this adorable example of the sketch and I just had to share it. Look how cute the little flags look in the top section where the sun is. Visit Libeeti's blog here.

Printable Sketches!

You have been asking and I finally did it! I put together sketches on 8.5x11" pages for you to print out. Each page has 6 of the 12x12" sketches. Over here on the right column of my blog, you will find three links to the download the PDF printable sketches. One note... since I wanted to print them on heavy weight paper for my own use, I formatted them so that they can be printed front and back and the sketch numbers will be on the outside edge of the page. Of course, you don't have to print them that way. Hopefully I will get the 2 pagers done soon for you.

Sketch #72 12x12

I have a fun sketch for you guys today. I had seen so many banner, circle, and heart pages so I kind of put them together in one. I have an example layout but I am saving it for a blog hop so you will see it soon. ;)
As promised, here is the layout that inspired the sketch. I had alot of fun using Echo Park's Yours Truly for this page. Check out my blog here for close ups and another page using this fun collection.

Since my layout isn't going to be posted yet, my good friend, Madeline, created a page as an example. I just love the way she did her banners and even the papers she used. Visit Madeline's two peas gallery HERE. In fact I love her page so much that I copied it! LOL! Seriously - just below hers, you will find my copycat page

Check out this awesome page by Orlanda! I just love the way she made the banners and embellishments fit the Cars theme. I totally want to copy this one. Visit Orlanda's disney gallery here.

Follow by email?

hey guys, I just added a gadget on the side bar of this site------> 
So if you guys want to get a little email when I post a new sketch, you can go add your email there and it will start sending them out to you. I like it when people have those because I rarely take the time to go thru my long lists of fave blogs, but having it come into my email keeps me from missing things. I just wanted to give you a heads up. I also added one to my regular blog CreativelySavvy.
