This 6 photo sketch has no cropping of the photos except for the circles.  Not a circle fan?  You could easily make the circles 3.5″ squares instead.  The large strips are 3/4″ from the edges.  The large circle on the left is 2″ from the bottom and 1.25″ from the right side (middle).

The free template download is a 2 page template. To use just one side, crop one side 12×12 at 300 resolution.

In this layout, I only used 5 photos to allow for journaling space.  I love big first-letter titles, and was excited to use 2 of them here!  I also added a 2nd large circle on the right side, and made the photos smaller to allow for more embellishments.

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.

This 6 photo layout is another that is friendly to those who don’t want to crop their photos, or to those who are fans of the zoom button on their camera, and just can’t cut or they’ll lose something!

The layout, using BasicGrey Marrakech, does have cropped photos on it, because I wanted to show the paper a little more, and add some journaling and embellishments.

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!

Sketches using multiple, uncropped 4×6 photos are not common, and yet how many of us zoom in when taking a picture, to the point where we don’t want to crop our pictures?  Sound familiar?  Then this is a sketch just for you!

In the example, I did crop the photos, and probably could’ve added more because of that.  I used 3 patterned papers and 2 solids.
