Two-page Sketch #23

You can download and print this sketch by clicking on the two-page sketches link found under the "printable sketches" tab on the right sidebar.

I've got a love for making Christmas trees so of course I took full advantage of that this month! Most of the left page is covered in trees of all sizes with the title and journaling right there in the middle of it all.

With the 11 pictures on this sketch there are lots of options for changing things up if you need to. Here are a few examples:

• use two 4 x 3 photos in place of one 4 x 6.
• use nine 4 x 4 photos on the right page (they will cover the whole page)
• add two more 4 x 6 photos on the left page and only use the three smallest trees.
• use a large grid of 2 x 2 photos in place of the 3 x 3 photos
• use four 6 x 4 photos on the right page

We've got a great week of two-page layouts coming up so be sure to check back on Monday!

Two-page Sketch #20

•••••••••••••••••

You can download and print this sketch by clicking on the two-page sketches link found under the "printable sketches" tab on the right sidebar.

Because we are doing a Simple Stories product challenge this month, this sketch was based on the 4 x 6 Vertical Journaling Card Elements and can be used with any of the Simple Stories collections. The vertical journaling cards always have such fun designs on them and they will help to make this sketch look great without having to put a lot of time into it.

Two-page Sketch #20 has not only a lot of pictures in a variety of sizes but also lots of strips of paper. This sketch is an easy one to simplify too by only using 4 x 6 photos and just a few of the suggested strips.

Here are a few ideas for using different photos than what the sketch suggests:

• use a 4 x 6 photo in place of the two 4 x 3 photos.
• use a 4 x 6 photo in place of the six 2 x 2 photos.
• use two 4 x 3 photos in place of the six 2 x 2 photos.
• use a 4 x 4 and two 2 x 2 photos in place of the two 4 x 3 photos or the six 2 x 2 photos.
• use another 4 x 6 photo in place of the big heart embellishments.

We've got another full week of fun layouts! On Friday we'll share our Simple Stories product challenge layouts and have another challenge for you too!
