WHAT ARE SCRAPBOOK SKETCHES? Think of sketches as “blueprints” for creating pages. They feature outlines for scrapbook layouts that give you an idea where to place your papers, photos, embellishments, titles and journal. They typically come in grayscale tones to help you picture the page designs using the products and tools you have on hand.

HOW DO I “READ” A SKETCH? The following gives examples of what each shape on a sketch layout could represent but remember — it’s up to YOU! Dark rectangle or square boxes: Photos

Rectangle or square boxes: Papers or mats

Long rectangles or circles: Die-cut border embellishments, border stickers, Border Maker Cartridge or border punch borders

Corresponding shades: Can suggest using the same designer paper, cardstock or mats

Other shapes: Embellishments or stickers

Title: Large writing, die cut, title sticker, ABC Stickers or Alphabet Stamp Kit System

Journal or lines: Place to write and journal

DO I HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SKETCH EXACTLY? Think of sketches as guidelines. You can pick and choose the elements that appeal to you, create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece loosely based on the sketch or completely scrap-lift the whole layout (this is perfectly acceptable, and in fact, highly encouraged).

WHY ARE SKETCHES SO GREAT? Where to begin?! The simplicity of sketches allows you to get creative with your scrapbook pages without having to come up with your own layout or design ideas every time. You can also use any product assortment you like and any number of photos. You’ll quickly see that using different products and photos gives you a completely different look each time, making sketches incredibly versatile!
