Sketches Revisited: Sketch 123

This sketch feature is about bringing back some of our "oldies-but-definitely-goodies" sketches. The Got Sketch? team will be doing this periodically to show you a new approach to some old sketch favorites. I'm excited to share these again!

Sketch 123
Sketch designed by Valerie Salmon

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Layout by Chrissy Greenman

SOURCES: Patterned Paper and Embellishments: Jillibean Soup. Hearts and Journal Tags; Bella Blvd. Twine: MME. Pen: Zig

Designer Notes: This has been one of my favorite "go-to" double page sketch! I love how versatile it is. You could change the large photo on the left page and fit four smaller photos or include two vertical photos as I did on my layout. On the right side, I also changed the dimensions of the top 3 X 3 layout so I could include a 3 x 5 picture! You could change the smaller 2 x 2 pictures to include a 2 x 4, etc. The possibilities are endless.

Twelve Days of Christmas: Day 11

Yay, a 2-page example from Chrissy, based on a 2-page sketch!

Project 2 of 2.

Sketch 123

Valerie Salmon

Chrissy's Tips: Who doesn't love 2 page layouts and banners?! I loved sketch 123 from the moment I saw it and knew it would be perfect for my "cookie making" pictures. What I love about the placement of the banner on this sketch is that it leaves you enough room to create a large banner title or a small banner title. I needed a large banner title since I wanted to spell out "cookies" and I love how it didn't take over the layout. (see image #2) Plus, it's easy to create your own banners. I cut 1x2 rectangles from patterned paper and then stacked them on top of each other. I cut a triangle at the bottom of each to create my banner. Last, I placed them on white cardstock to make them stand out and cut around the red patterned paper. Also, to add dimension to my page I added pop dots under the tree and present embellishments. (see images #1 and #3)
