July Sketch: 8.5x11

Here's an 8.5x11 sketch using the fun label shapes we all love...

Girlz
by Frances
For this awesome girlie layout by Frances, I love that she first flip flopped the sketch. For the large circle, she incorporated a fun large flower shape as a base for her great photos. That's one rockin' page Frances!

July Sketch: Shaped Sketch

A fun 12x12 layout for you today with lots of photos....

Cool New Googles
by Jenn S.


I love that Jenn has taken the photo aspect of the sketch and rotated it and then combined the right 3 photos to make one large photo of her cute little guy! She's even taken the mini star embellies from the sketch and used them within her design as well! Awesome summer page Jenn!

Help.... bug!
by Zoe
Zoe has also altered the photo aspect of the sketch. She's taken all 6 photos and combined them into one. I love all the fun circles of patterned papers that's she's used to highlight her title. Super cute page Zoe!

Week Four Photos
by Nicole

And again, Nicole has taken a set of two photos and combined them into one larger photo just like Jenn and Zoe. I love all the fun pops of colour Nicole has used with her layered flowers and other embellies. Another adorable page Nicole!

Here's a fun card sketch for you today....

I Adore You
by Tina
I love how Tina has used some beautiful blooms to use as her three elements on her page. The combination of her frilly lace and soft colour palette is just wonderful. Gorgeous card Tina!

You're the Cherry on Top
by Jess

I love this super fun cherry themed card by Jess! I love that she's not only used the stamped cherries as her three focal images but has also incorporated them into the back ground of her fun card too! Adorable card creation Jess!

Hi!
by Tracy

For this simple card by Tracy, instead of used three identical images as her focal point, she has used some letters and punctuation! How clever is that? I love that she's tucked the dark ric rak under her circle center shape to draw your eye down the greeting on her card. Fabulous card Tracy!

I thought a nice large star might be a great start to a fun page....

Today
by Jenn S.

I like the fact that Jenn has taken the sketch and flip flopped from one side to another and rotated the 2 photo places in the center. She's even used one of her photo spaces as a place to journal on. A stellar page Jenn!

Show Me Your Pipes!
by Nicole

I love the hilarious photos that Nicole found for this star shaped page. Did you see that she copied her star theme and added mini yellow stars to her row of circles too? A super cute page Nicole!

July Sketch: 12x12

I love using circles in my sketches so here's a fun sketch with a circle....

Control
by Aphra

I love how Aphra has accentuated her large circle shaped by studding it with red brads. I love that she has taken the title block from the sketch and moved it off to the side to create a visual triangle within her page. A gorgeous page Aphra!

Kite Flying
by Jen B.

I love that Jen has taken the sketch and removed one of the photos and then centered the design. The shape of her photos on the page almost mimics a balloon shape! I love that she's used used the scalloped grid paper and added some fun cloud shapes across it like a sky! Wonderful page Jen!

There's a First for Everything
by Frances

I love that Frances has taken her strip of photos an used it like a story line. The splash of fun colours she has used just makes her sweet photos pop off her page! Super cute page Frances!
