Sketch 39: Layouts

Wow, where has this week gone? I think most activities, schools, businesses, started back this week, and for me, it was a whirlwind! I hope your week was a little more relaxed and that you had time to play with our sketches! :)

This week we have a sketch with LOTS of possibilities! Many pictures, one picture, lots of journaling, no journaling, etc. Look at Sketch 39: The designers really have their own great "take" on this sketch this week! Look at title placement, journaling boxes, numbers of pictures, etc. It really is amazing how awesome each layout is based off of this one fun sketch! We also have three different layout sizes for you--12x12, 8x8, and 8 1/2 x 11. So fun!

Sketch 38: Layouts

Welcome back, and Happy New Year!!!! Gosh, it is hard to believe the break is over and a New Year is beginning. But, I am excited to see where Triple the Sketch will go in 2009. I hope you are too! Let's get to our new sketch.

Sketch 38 is a simple yet versatile sketch. With this sketch, you can have a lot of white space or you can completely junk it up! This sketch just says "play." Try something new! Wait until you see the different takes from the design team! As you look at the designers layouts, make sure you look at how each of them used the four squares. Look how they flipped them. Look at the different sizes used. The possibilities with this sketch are endless!
