Scrapbooking sketch of the week
It’s Wednesday, so it must be time for a scrapbooking sketch? And there are three photos on this week’s page, and it’s not all that different from the March edition of 4×6 Photo Love. But with this little added detail across the bottom of the page:
this combination of something circular plus a label or rectangle below is something I’m using here and there throughout this particular album. Word stickers are perfect, but you can also customise your own word strips with your own handwriting, a typewriter or anything you want to print from your computer. Give it a try!
If you prefer smaller photos, you can make this same design hold six or twelve smaller photos in the same space or you could take it back to a single photo layout and use a panorama-style print.
As always, the weekly sketch is no-stress and just for fun! If you use it, I’d love to see, so please leave a link.
I’m loving the patterned paper explosion from last week with the quadrant design! These are a few of my favourites. Click to see any of these pages in more detail and say hello to these scrapbookers.
Top row, L to R: one, two, three, four.
Middle row, L to R: five, six, seven, eight
Bottom row, L to R: nine, ten, eleven and twelve.

great sketch, love those little word stickers. your travelling photos are so amazing, I still need to scrap most of mine from 5 years ago, so I’ll try to use some of them for this sketch! x

Hi Shimelle – love your LO to show off those gorgeous photos! I’ll be trying this sketch ;)
I’m trying to get more into scrapping but I want to try printing photos at size(s) other than 4×6 and 5×7, to mix things up a bit. Any tips – I’m a total novice with Photoshop Elements! I have seen those digi collage templates over at 2Ps but I’m not sure how to use. What would you suggest, oh scrappy guru?
Hugs (and glitter), Ruth xx

I love this sketch and I really love using 3 photos across the page so this is an ideal opportunity for me to change it up a bit. And you know how I have coveted that starburst punch since Scrap-a-Mia last year? I finally have one on order – yay I found someone who sells them here!

Thanks this is a great sketch and it inspired me to use a pic of scenery, instead of people as usual.

Amazing! I cannot believe that it’s made just by an ordinary girl)) Very nice!

Loved the sketch this week. I haven’t scrapped for ages (and ages) so it was a good one to get me back into the swing of things. :0)

Great to see the LOs from your big trip, I have a set of very similar photos from Ayuttaya (sp?) so I m almost feeling inspired to start the huge task of reviewing and choosing photos from the 5000 I took on my big trip! Maybe a job for the winter months… Love the little repeated elements across the bottom of the LO will definately be stealing that idea! H x

Great post! I’d like to see something that’s pretty simple and easy to understand at a glance, but with a lot of motion and activity to reflect the vibrancy of the community. Can’t wait to see what you and morgamic come up with.

Nice information, many thanks to the author. It is incomprehensible to me now, but in general, the usefulness and significance is overwhelming. Thanks again and good luck!
