Every once in a while I run across a sketch that really makes me yearn to pull together some photos and products and get scrapping. This PageMaps sketch had that effect on me when I saw it on their blog. It’s their June contest sketch, and I knew I wanted to play along.
PageMaps June 2011 sketch for contest
A few of the reasons I like this sketch so much and can see using it again are that it features four photos (so you can really tell a story with them), calls for a few nice pops of patterned paper and still leaves a good amount of white space for the eyes to rest a bit while looking at it. It accomplishes a lot in a 12×12 canvas!
This is the layout I created based on the sketch. The photos are from Memorial Day weekend, just a few weeks ago. When Matt and I started talking about the kinds of things we could do during the holiday weekend, Matt suggested, “We could drive to Fredericksburg for the day so you can go to that scrapbook store you like.”
Here is my entry for the PageMaps June 2011 sketch contest.
Now if that’s not proof of love, I don’t know what is. 🙂
Love your take on the sketch! I really like the multiple, smaller photos, too!
Thanks, Becca! This really was a great sketch, wasn’t it?
Found your site through Shimelle’s, love your layouts! Looking forward to your future posts. Please stop by my newly “re-started” blog if you you get a chance.
Thanks so much for your comment, Robyn! I’ve found Shimelle’s class has been such a good way to meet some great people/bloggers. I will certainly visit your newly relaunched blog. 😀
