There is a nice simplicity to this 7 photo sketch. It can be dressed up or down, depending on your mood, but the basic paper layout is easy.

This first example is exactly like the sketch. I used 4 patterns & 3 solids. The brackets are chipboard covered with paper, but you could get the same effect with pop dots or by using strips of paper instead of brackets.

This second example was created by my friend, Robin S.  She used the left side of the sketch for inspiration, then did her own thing with the right side. This is a good example of using a sketch as a starting point for inspiration, and not having to follow it exactly.

This 8 photo sketch is one of my favorites.  As you can see, I’ve used it 3 times!  So much that my friends have banned me from using it for awhile.  But it is so easy!

The 1st example is the closest to the sketch.

The 2nd example uses the same number of photos as the sketch, but sized and arranged a little different.

The 3rd example shows how a whole different look can be achieved by moving the large circle up and off the top of the layout.  Still the same number of photos, though!

The 4th example uses fewer pictures, more circles, and more quotes.  So many different layouts, from all the same sketch!

This 7 photo sketch incorporates the big circles that I love.

The example only uses 6 photos, and you’ll notice that they are arranged a little differently.  The bottom left photo is a panoramic, instead of 2 separate photos.  The top right photos are 3 instead of 2. And the square photo on the right is replaced by a large embellishment.  There are 3 patterns and 3 solids used here.
