Sketch 66

This 5 photo sketch is especially for those of you who don’t like to crop your photos. The 3.5 inch circle can be replaced with a large embellishment, if you like. And if you use a plain piece of cardstock as a base for the strips on the right page, you can save on the more expensive patterned paper.

It feels like I cheated with this 4 photo layout, because the strips on the right page were already printed on the page! Since doing this layout, I look for lines that have a sheet like that, as it makes it very easy to scrap!

This 4 photo sketch is fairly simple, as far as how much layering there is of the background papers, and the layout. But the unexpected shape of the large flower, echoed across the layout by a smaller flower, really does alot for the layout. To make the flower, you can use a template, or freehand it, or print a shape from your computer, trace and cut.

For this layout, I used a template for the large flower, then cut the smaller flower out of the patterned paper (the only place that pattern is seen on this layout). Not counting that small flower, this layout uses 3 patterns and 2 solids.

Yep, circles! Love, love, love them! I use anything I can find to create them… plates, Tupperware lids, bowls. Most often, though, I use a compass, and occasionally the Creative Memories Circle Cutter (though it usually doesn’t make circles big enough for what I want.)

In this 5 photo sketch, the various sizes of the circles pull your eyes across the page. This layout example uses 3 patterned papers and 3 solids, but you could use less, or more.

The 2nd layout uses 4 patterns and 3 solids, but only 4 photos.
