Why Sketches?
Sketches come in various sizes, from 12 x 12 layouts, 8.5 x 11 layouts, 6 x
6, etc… You have layout sketches as well as card sketches.
Scrapbook sketches make life SO much easier, and they are a great timesaver. What is a sketch? A sketch is like a map/guide that you follow to
create your page. A scrapbooking sketch simply suggests a guide on the
placement of photos, title, journaling and embellishments for your layout. However, it does not mean that it's set in stone.
Depending on the photos you want to use, and the scrap supplies you
have on hand, you may choose to alter the sketch to fit your needs. You
can even make your own changes to add variations to the scrapbook layout sketches. You don’t have to stick to the sketch stitch for stitch and
paper for paper.
I love using sketches, hence the creation of Let’s Get Sketchy. Sketches
help me to reduce time in creating and planning my page. All I have to
do is to select an appropriate sketch, then pick out my photos, papers and
embellishments and scrap accordingly to the sketch. So much easier
than starting from scratch!
Sketches are a wonderful resource for both beginners and seasoned
scrapbookers alike. So, whether you are just starting out in this glorious
