Scrapbooking Ideas with Scrapbooking Sketches

By Jennifer Gormly

 

Sketches provide an outline to inspire and speed up your creative processes. They are not rigid, but instead are intended to provide a springboard for creating your layout. This layout shows how easy it is to change and build on any sketch to suit your needs.

This layout was created using Karen Foster Petals Paper Pack, white cardstock, purple and pink pens, Karen Foster Sweet Impressions stickers and Beary Patch Grape Curl Alphabet stickers.

 

Set aside the Purple Petals paper for your background. Cut a strip of Blue Petals paper measuring approximately 22cm by 11cm. Adhere is horizontally to your background, on the left side of the page, 12cm from the bottom. The sketch indicates a narrower strip, but in this instance, the larger strip added more balance to the page.

 

Cut a strip of Pink Petals paper measuring approximately 19.3cm by 27.5cm. If you make it any wider than this, your floral stickers will not reach across the top. Adhere the strip vertically, with the bottom edge along the bottom edge of your page, approximately 1.5cm from the left side of the page. By taking this piece all the way to the bottom of the page, you have varied again from the sketch. This is because the photo being used is larger than that indicated in the sketch. This forces the elements down the page further. Extending this strip to the bottom of the page gives greater balance as well as visual weighting to your layout.

 

Create your title along the top of your Pink Petals strip. I have used Beary Patch Grape Curl Alphabet stickers. Mat the first letter with Blue Petals paper and again with white cardstock. Choose another letter of your title to also mat with Blue Petals paper to add interest to your title.

 

You will notice in the sketch that there is a strip underneath the title. Instead of creating a rectangular strip, like that in the sketch, create a line of flowers underneath your title using stickers from your Karen Foster Sweet Impressions sheet. Overlap each one slightly. If you wish, lightly outline each flower with pink and purple pens to help them stand out more.

 

Mat your photo with white cardstock and adhere directly underneath your line of flowers. The sketch also has three small squares underneath the photo, but I have opted not to include these due to the size of the remaining page elements. 

 

Use a purple pen to journal on a strip of white cardstock. Mat with Blue Petals paper and place in the bottom right corner of your page. Place a small Karen Foster Sweet Impressions sticker on the right side of your journaling and a large sticker on the left side.

 

At this point, you can see a large variation from the original sketch in terms of how this layout is embellished. Cut a piece of Blue Petals paper measuring 5.5cm by 5.5cm and place in the top right corner. Place a small floral sticker inside. Position the three remaining large stickers underneath to create a vertical line down your page. 

 

Finally, cut a piece of Blue Petals paper measuring 3cm by 4.5cm and place in the bottom left corner. Place a small floral sticker inside. While this element was not in the original sketch, it does add a further sense of balance to your page. 

 

As you can see, a sketch can provide a basic guide for your layout, but it is easy to modify and build on to suit your current project. Give it a go, and have some fun!
