Two-page Sketch #26

••••••••••••••••••

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.

Have you ever seen the patterned papers that have twelve 3 x 4" pieces? Some have fun designs, some are great journaling blocks and others have quotes or titles. (Simple Stories, Fancy Pants and Echo Park are a few that make these papers.) That's what this sketch was based on. That whole top row of patterned paper and embellishments, that idea came from those fun patterned papers. If you use those papers you can use this sketch and go from sketch to finished layout in no time!

Don't have those particular papers? No problem! Challenge yourself to come up with your own decorative 3 x 4" pieces for that top row!

Here are a few ideas for the photos:

• Use four 6 x 4" photos.
• Use six 4 x 4" photos.
• Use six 2 x 2" photos in place of a 6 x 4"
• Use a 4 x 4" and two 2 x 2" photos in place of a 6 x 4"

We've got another great week packed with wonderful projects from our talented creative team! Be sure to check back throughout the week!

One-page Sketch #16

•••••••••••••••••••
Happy Holidays to all of our Sketch Support readers!

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

It's hard to believe that we are entering into the last week of the 2011 year! One-page Sketch #16 will be the last sketch of this year!

I've always wanted to do a layout that showcased our favorite ornaments on our tree so I started playing around with the some different sketch designs. This design seemed to stand out with the larger photo, the five small photos, and the hanging ornaments to enhance the theme. That larger photo would work so well as a full picture of the tree and then close up photos of the individual ornaments for the smaller photos.

Don't celebrate Christmas or want to use this sketch for a different theme? No problem! Those hanging ornaments could also be hanging spiders for Halloween, hearts, stars, snowflakes, or try flipping them and turning them into flowers. There are lots of possibilities!

Check back tomorrow to see what our creative team has done with this sketch!

Two-Page Sketch #17: Sketches for Scrapbooking, Volume 8

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••


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.

Every six months at Scrapbook Generation Publishing we come out with another volume of Sketches for Scrapbooking. Since July 1 was the release date of the newest Sketches for Scrapbooking, Volume 8 we thought we would share one of our favorite sketches from the book. So this week you get to see (and print) a sketch from the book and what our creative team did with it!

I usually don't pick favorites when it comes to sketch but this one just might be one! It might be that I love stars and this one has a whole lot of them or it could be that the picture sizes are the easiest to work with. We all know that it's always easiest to print a 4 x 6 and use it as is but I also think 4 x 4" photos are just as easy. They are the one size that is almost always easy to crop out of a 4 x 6 in either orientation.

There are also lots of other photo sizes you can use like:

• Use three horizontal 4 x 6 photos in place of the three 4 x 4 photos on the right page.
• Use a vertical 4 x 6 in place of the bottom 4 x 4 on the left page.
• Use two rows of 3 x 3 or 4 x 4 in place of the one row of 4 x 4 photos on the right page.
• Use a 4 x 6 in place of the 4 x 4 on the far left
• Use four 2 x 2 photos in place of any 4 x 4 photo on the page.

We've got so many layouts to share this week that I can't wait to get started! And you might want to keep checking the Creative Team member's blogs. There might be some giveaways going on this week!

Speaking of giveaways...

Today we are giving away a copy of the newest book: Sketches for Scrapbooking, Volume 8. It's the next book in our series with 30 new two-page sketches. To be eligible, leave a comment, we'll randomly pick a winner, and announce it on Wednesday.

It been a much requested thing for us to start a gallery for others to share their layouts based on Sketch Support sketches so we finally started one here. We're excited to start seeing what everyone does with the sketches and look forward to seeing the gallery fill up with your creations!

Two-Page Week, Part 5 and two bonus sketches

••••••••••••••••••••
We apologize for the delay in posting. We had some technical difficulties with the site.

Two-page Sketch #13


 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. 



"The 80's are Calling" by Christy Arthur
Products - Hero Arts: Typewriter Stamp; October Afternoon: 5&dime Root Beer Barrels, Bubble Gum, Jawbreakers, Butterscotch, Lemondrops, Word and Shape Stickers, Miscellany; Crate Paper: Emma's Shoppe Borders, Phrase Stickers, Accent Cuts and Chipboard; Portrait Accent Cuts; Jenni Bowlin: Bingo Alpha Tile; Sassafras: Numerical Chipboard; Ranger: Adirondack Pitch Black ink; Studio Calico: Mister Huey Calico White and Pickle, Green Woodgrain fabrip; Other: Twine

• I used the left side of the two page sketch and turned it into a one page layout.

• I used four smaller 3x3 photos instead of the two larger 6x4 photos in the sketch.

• I layered different journaling cards behind the photos instead of the one, larger rectangle of paper in the sketch. I made that "rectangle" of journaling cards slightly smaller than the rectangle in the sketch (mine does not stretch behind the top horizontal strip).

• I made the banner smaller so it was in the corner more than stretching across the page like the sketch.


• I used a journaling card instead of the 4x4 photo and hid my journaling behind the accent card.

• I added a date accent to the bottom left corner, that is not in the sketch.

 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •


"A Day of Fun and Sun" by Melissa Elsner
Supplies - Paper, Border and Banner stickers: Pink Paislee; Alphabet Stickers: American Crafts, Cosmo Cricket; Stamp: Inkadinkado; Stamp Ink: Versafine; Border Punch, Corner Punch: EK Success

Design Notes: I was very excited to see some banners on this sketch but didn't have enough photos to fill up a two pager. I shrunk it to the one page and used one of the spots for a photo as a journaling block. To create the banner, I snipped off the triangles from the border sticker by Pink Paislee and then adhered them with pop dots. To create the areas where an embellishment was suppose to go, I simply stamped on the patterned paper and cut out the images.

Two-Page Sketch #10 and the One-Page Product Challenge Winner

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••


 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.

Two-page sketch #10 fits six photos with three large and three small photos. This sketch is easy to adapt to other photo arrangements. A few adjustments you can easily make to fit the photos you have are:

• Use a 4 x 6 in place of the 3 x 6 in the middle.
• Use a grid of six 3 x 3 photos in place of the main grouping of photos.
• Move the title to the left and use four 6 x 4 photos. To keep the balance of the layout you'll probably want to move the whole design down about an inch.
• Use one 6 x 2 or 6 x 3 photo in place of the three 2 x 2 photos.
• Use three 3 x 3 photos in place of the three 2 x 2 photos.

As for the grid of stars, you can use so many different elements in place of those like hearts, flowers, pictures (minus the stitching through them), circles, squares, or try using one big element in place of them all.

Tomorrow we will start posting the layouts we've created based on Two-page Sketch #10 so make sure you stop by. There's lots of great layout to see!

One-Page Sketch #3 and the Two-page Product Challenge Winner

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

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

One-page layouts don't necessarily limit the number of photos you can use. You most often have to use smaller sizes but you can still get a lot of photos on one page. 

This month, the one-page sketch has six photos: one larger photo (6" x 3") and five smaller photos (3" x 3").  Sketches with all the photos in one big block are the easiest to adjust to fit the photo sizes you want to use. There are so many combinations of photo sizes you could use that I bet you couldn't even begin to count how many. Here are a few that would work:

• seven 3" x 3" photos
• two 4" x 6", one 4" x 4", and a 4" x 2" journaling block
• three 4" x 6" photos without a journaling block
• three 6" x 3" photos and a 3" x 6" journaling block
• three 6" x 3", one 3" x 3", and a 3" x 3" journaling block

This is also a great sketch for using up some scraps. You don't have to use a 11" x 11" square for the background like the sketch suggests. You could instead use two separate strips, one for the top and one for the bottom, and save some paper since it would be hidden behind the pictures and journaling. 

The week we've got several great variations based on the sketch to share and on Friday we've got another round of the Jillibean Soup Product Challenge. Check back tomorrow for the first round of layouts based on One-page Sketch #3!

Two-Page Sketch #8

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••


  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.

Tomorrow brings the beginning of two-page week and we have a lot of layouts to share based on the sketch above.

Two-page sketch #8 includes six photos with most of them being smaller, cropped photos. It's a great sketch for adding lots of detail shots or the row of four 3 x 3 photos along the bottom are set up perfectly for action shots.

If you don't like to crop your photos that small or only work with 4 x 6 there are still plenty of options for you to use this sketch. You might try using two 6 x 4 photos in place of the four 3 x 3 photos. If you keep them as they are on the sketch that would mean you would have to split a photo between the pages, which is fine, but I would recommend moving the row to right so you don't have to do that. You could even include a 4 x 4, the easiest size to crop from a 4 x 6, to the left side of the 6 x 4 to help maintain the balance of the layout.

Another option for those that don't want to mess with cropping is to use wallet size photos in place of the 3 x 3 photos. Most photo printing places offer that option at a low cost. I love wallet size prints because they allow you to use smaller photos without have to crop anything out of the picture, like a mini 4 x 6.

Tomorrow we'll start the first round of layouts the creative team has put together. It's going to be a week full of fun layouts!
