Sketch 19: Cards & Tags

Today we have three fun cards and a tag for you using Sketch 19. Look at the embellishments the designers used and how Ember used tags for two of the blocks from the sketch. These are all so fun, and I hope that you are able to create a fun card or tag too. And be sure to link them here so that we can all enjoy them! Have a great week, and see you next Friday with Sketch 20!

Sketch 19: Layouts

This week we have a fun sketch for you with three blocks that can be used for photos, journaling blocks, or even removed from the design to add embellishments or other fun elements. Here is Sketch 19 for you:For the layouts using this sketch, you will see how Elizabeth and Hope used different sized pictures on their layouts but each chose to still use 3 photos. Chelsea also used three photos but look how she changed it up a bit. Love it! Renee used the sketch to make a 2-page layout, and Danni chose to only use two pictures and put a larger journaling box. And look at the different sized layouts we have for you today--12x12 layouts, 8 1/2 x 11 layouts, and a 9x9 layout. Wow, I just love the versatility!

Sketch 18: Layouts

Happy Friday, and Happy August!!! It sure feels like August here with weather in the 100s almost daily! Hey, but that just means more crafting time in the air conditioning! Sounds good to me anyway! :)

We have a fun sketch for you today with a large block that can be used for a single photo or many photos. Elizabeth chose to use the space to put six small photos. And look at the different ways the designers placed their titles. Great inspiration from each of them. Here is Sketch 18 followed by six stunning examples. Enjoy! 12x12 Layout by Carrie
