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.

Lots of papers, lots of pictures and fun embellishments too! There are so many possibilities with this one!

For the papers you could use several different sizes of smaller strips to make up the background or add in some other elements like border strips or felt borders. As for the flowers, try any large embellishment in it's place to fit your theme like a big house, a tree, a big flourish, etc.

One thing I love about photo blocks like on this sketch is that you have endless photo combinations to use. I look at it like a puzzle and try to find different sizes that will measure up to the same overall size of the photo block. There is even plenty of room to add in some vertical 4 x 6" photos and increase the height of the photo block.

Check back tomorrow and throughout the week to see the wonderful layouts created by our creative team!

Two-page Sketch #19

••••••••••••••••••••

When the back to school season started to approach I wanted to create a sketch that would be good for all of those first day of school pictures. With the an enlargement as the main focus and then several smaller supporting photos for pictures of supplies, backpacks, and all those fun back to school pictures we take. Of course, even though school was the inspiration for this sketch, it can be used for any theme.


There are also many photo options too, like:


• use a 4 x 6 in place of the 5 x 7
• use 3 x 3 photos and squares of paper to fit even more photos on your page
• use 2 x 2 photos and squares
• combine photos on the sketch for larger photos on your layout


Be sure to check back tomorrow and all through the week to see how our talented creative team has used this sketch!
