Scrapbooking Sketch of the week

Ready for a new sketch? And are you getting the message that I just might like patterned paper more than is probably healthy? This week’s layout has two 4×6 photos and five different patterned papers, though you could substitute solid colours for any of those blocks if you prefer.

scrapbooking sketch
The trick with this type of page design is to start by building a background (including your photos) that is quite blocky – everything fits together, everything has straight edges and ninety degree angles. Then layer the fun stuff on top! A lot or a little… and you can extend the journaling box all across the page if you have more to write. Can’t wait to see what you make!

And I love the layouts from last week’s sketch. Here’s a sample of different interpretations!
Top row: one, two, three, four, five, six.
Middle row: seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven-, twelve.
Bottom row: thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen and eighteen.

I hope you like this sketch too – happy scrapping!

    Just been told about these sketches and this week’s one was perfect for the two photos I had, I usually try to use one or three photos but very seldom two I find that so much more difficult Enough waffling here is my digi effort

    all the pps and embellishments are my own creation the title font is The King and Queen Font
    Journalling font Journal

  29. Julie Jeavons Says:

    Thanks Shimelle – I flicked through my holiday album and decided I had got into a two 4X6 photos and three circles rut. This has certainly added some variety. My LO is loaded here:
