Sketch Away!

Sketches are a scrapbooker’s tool to creating a layout when you don’t know where to start. Don’t know where to start? Well, I’d say start with picking a sketch that inspires you. Is it a sketch with one picture, two pictures, five pictues, etc.? Is it a single page or a double paged layout?
Remember that they are there for you inspire you to create. You can follow it to the tee, or you can change it up to fit your own personal style.
I felt inspired by this sketch over at Sketchy Thursdays:


…so I created this layout:



My layout holds similar characteristics to the original design, yet it’s very different. Instead of using one picture, I decided to use four. The sketch did not show circles across the middle of the page, but I decided to add my own flair with brads.
As you can see, the possibilities of projects are endless when using a sketch.
Below is a list of sites online that offer free sketches. Check them out and feel inspired! :)
