Templates (includes each side separately, and both sides together.) The scalloped shape & large ring on the template were created by Brittney at “britt-ish designs” and can be found at ScrapMatters.com

I went a little circle crazy with the 10-photo layout. The paper made me do it!   I used 3 patterns and 1 solid, all from BoBunny’s Pet Shop collection.

This second layout is digital (using the template above), with 5 patterned papers (and other elements) from designer Summer Drigg’s (free) Vintage Oreos kit.  Note that with both layouts, I added another circle on top of the sketch’s “journaling” spot. Just one way of making the sketch my own (which it already is, but don’t confuse me with the facts!)

This 8 photo sketch uses one of my favorite new shapes. If you are paper scrapping, you can use a diecut or chipboard shape, which is what I did when I used this sketch.

This layout uses 7 photos, because I wanted to include journaling. I used Crate Paper’s “Brook” Collection for all 4 of the patterned papers, and most of the embellishments.  There is 1 solid paper used.  The awesome 4″ chipboard letter (and the scroll shape, as mentioned above) is from Keller’s Creations.

This second, 8 photo, layout is digital (I used my own template!) and was created for a challenge at Persnickety Prints, using the Heirloom freebie add-on kit by Deena Rutter, part of her Scarborough Fair collection.

The layout uses 6 photos and 5 patterned papers.

This 12 photo sketch manages to have lots of the circles and also get lots of photos on display!

The layout has 16 photos.  It uses 5 patterned paper and 1 solid.  As I have an issue with empty space, I added the ribbons to the right-side top circle.

This second layout is digital, created from the templates above.  It uses 14 photos, 3 patterned papers, and 2 solids.

This 7 photo sketch isn’t very intricate, and I think you may be able to do it quickly.  No promises, though!

The layout was fun to create, mostly because I love these pictures of my grand-puppy.  I made one significant change to the sketch, in that I added 5 (five) 2×2″ photos on the right side.  I used 5 patterned papers and no solids.

This 12 photo sketch is very versatile.  Don’t have 12 photos?  Take out some of the small 2x2s on the left side and use embellishments instead, or place larger photos there instead.  Want a larger title?  Remove the lower left photos altogether!  Don’t like to journal?  Stick another photo there instead!  All sketches are just suggestions, so don’t feel locked into creating it just like you see it.

As you can see from the layout, I certainly don’t follow the sketch exactly. I’d had those male/female chipboard accents for awhile and wasn’t sure how I was going to use them, but they were perfect for this layout!  And over on the journaling block, I included both journaling and a photo!  This layout uses just 7 photos, along with 6 patterned papers and 1 solid.

First, the dimensions of each piece of paper are included. Yes, I listened to my fans, and the fans of other sketches that included this!

Second, this sketch is now available as a downloadable template for digital scrapbookers.  Each sketch will have 2 download links, one for each side of the sketch.  The links will be available in between the sketch and the layout example.  They are free for a limited time, so get them while you can!

This 11 photo sketch gives you lots of room for a long or large title, but the main focus is your photos.  Turn your head sideways and look at each side… left for the left side, right for the right.  The sketch would work turned that way, also!

The layout 10 photos, to allow for an embellishment on the upper left of the right side..  There are 4 patterns and 2 solids.

This 6 photo sketch uses all uncropped 4×6 pictures and can be created with just 5 sheets of 12×12 paper.  It uses a large title, and the large right side circle balances that.

The layout uses 8 photos, and arranges them just a little differently. On the left side, a photo was used in the title, and 4 2×3 photos replaced the 2 6×4 photos. On the left side, the journaling circle was replaced with a photo, and two larger photos were used instead of the four. Three patterned papers were used.

The layout uses only 3 patterns and 2 solids. Instead of journaling, the title is carried across the page on the circles.

Here’s Robin’s layout.  She used more than 5 patterned papers, but since the set was double-sided, she was able to get the most bang-for-her buck based on how she used them.  Popping some of the circles up is an important part of the design.

But wait, there’s more!  You will notice that the right side of the Robin’s layout really differs somewhat from the sketch.  That’s because the sketch is created from already-created layouts, and the right side is from my scraplift of Robin’s layout.  The papers are the same, the general idea is the same, but you can see how I made it my own.  Notice I didn’t use as many little circles, and my flourishes are different… and that’s okay!

After creating the layout above, I was working in a different album, and decided to use the sketch again (yes, I use & re-use my own sketches!)  Even fewer little circles, but it all still works.  (Just a note, I discovered the fun of making my own patterned paper on this layout, as I needed another pattern.  So I foam stamped the yellow cardstock and voila!)
