Sketches Revisited: Sketch 21

"Sketches Revisited" is about bringing back some of our past sketches.  The Got Sketch? team will be doing this periodically to show you a fresh approach to some old sketch favorites.  
Sketch 21
Original Sketch Post:  August 2007

I chose sketch #21 based on the pictures I had.  I originally had 3 vertical pictures so I skimmed through the gotsketch sketches looking for a sketch that included 2 or 3 vertical pictures.  When I saw sketch #21 I knew it would be perfect.  I also liked how the sketch included embellishments in the top left corner of the 1st picture.  I wanted to highlight how much my son enjoys being outside so I knew the top left corner would be a perfect place to include clouds.  I continued highlighting the outdoor theme by including the branch with birds, adding a bird to my journaling square (see close up #2 and #3), and creating a leaf border.  I chose to place the branches on the right hand side of my layout, instead of the middle of both pictures, to balance out the clouds.  Therefore, I moved my journaling to the bottom center of my layout and added a bird for dimension.  I finished my layout with my title and added the ribbon leaf border for added interest! (see close up #1).

Twelve Days of Christmas: Day 4

The sketches aren't just for scrapbook layouts & cards.  Chrissy shows you how you can use the design even on an altered item.  Her wooden tray is too cute and makes such an adorable holiday decor!

Sketch 3



Chrissy's Tips:  I found this wonderful wooden tray at Micheal's and knew I had to buy it and decorate it with my children's Christmas pictures!  And what better way to get inspired than with one of the Got Sketch? sketches.  I skimmed through all of the sketches and looked for one that included full length, vertical 4x6 pictures.  Sketch #3 was perfect.  I started by adhering my three 4x6 pictures and then added  borders to the top and bottom of the pictures.  Next, I added the 3" half circles to the top and bottom of the tray.  (see image pic #2)  The sketch shows the title on the upper right corner and the journaling on the bottom.  I switched them around and put journaling strips on the top right corner and used the journaling strip attached to the tree as my title.  The sketch also shows an embellishment towards the bottom left corner.  I moved my embellishment a little more towards the center and added a tree with presents.  To make them pop out I cut a 1/2" strip of thin cardstock and folded it into a square.  I taped the edges together.  Then, I put adhesive on one side of the cardboard square and attached it to the tray and then attached the opposite side of the cardboard square to the tree sticker.  I also did this with the green present.  (see image pic #1, #3 and #4)  I finished off the tray by painting the top edge red and the outside green.  Finally, I attached a ribbon to the top center.

Twelve Days of Christmas: Day 2

Next up is a simply sharp-looking layout by Kimberly Neddo.

Sketch 12


Kimberly's Tips:  I really love adding dimension to my layouts for interest, so I use a lot of pop dots.  Also, I used the rule of thirds with this design, with the color red to pull everything together nicely.
