This 9 photo sketch uses circles to break up a design that might be too linear without them.  The smaller circle embellishments bring balance to the larger circles, but could be replaced with something else.

In the example, I used 8 photos, 3 patterned papers and 1 solid paper.

Don’t be afraid of sketches with oddly shaped large photos.  If you don’t have one to fit, you can always use multiple photos to fill the space.  Put all together, they have the same visual impact as the large photo.

This 8 photo sketch requires precise measurement & placement on the right side, which is why I gave you the measurements of all the pieces.  The spacing from the edges and in-between is .25″. You could use fewer pictures and fill-in with more patterned paper or embellishments.

Okay, here’s the first sketch!  It is a 9 photo sketch, though in my example I only used 8.

In the example, I used 3 patterned papers and 2 colors of cardstock.  You’re only limited by your imagination!
