Scrapbooking Sketch of the Week - with a Christmas twist!
A crafting weekend here wouldn’t be right without a sketch, would it? So a sketch this week with two examples – one travel page and one Christmas page, complete with silly childhood photo!
This sketch will work with any paper you like, but it’s particularly useful with patterned papers with a framed edge. I find those papers such a challenge with the frame around the edge, but easier when the frame can be turned inside-out as it were! I used two portrait 4×6 prints on this example and one 4×5 Polaroid on the example below, but this sketch will work with a variety of photo options, so adapt it to the pictures on your desk.
Of course, this is Christmas crafting weekend so it just wouldn’t be right to not include a Christmas take on the sketch!
Your challenge: use this sketch to create a holiday-themed layout OR to prepare a page in your Christmas journal, ready for photos and journaling later. Take a picture and upload your page to your blog or an online gallery. One randomly selected entry will win a $10 gift certificate to Two Peas in a Bucket to go shopping for scrapbooking supplies! Entries close next Sunday, the 20th of November.

Love this idea. Loved Huka Falls too – I always want to read your journalling since we have visited some of the same places. I always felt like nature was saying “I’m in charge here” in NZ.

I love this sketch. More importantly I’m so glad you did a video for this one. I never would’ve thought of using framed paper that way, and was even a little weary when you were describing it, before cutting the paper, but I love how it turned out. Also, I’m loving the examples of your readers who’ve shared their pages of this sketch.

I like the idea of turning in the framed paper. I ended up not liking the brads circle as much, but it may have just been the rations I chose. Thanks for the inspiration.
