Giveaway!

I've enjoyed being on Sketch Support, my second design team. It is such fun to get the sketches in my email, thinking ahead to what I could do with them.

Here's one I did with last month's one page sketch (click on the image to see it larger):


I actually sent this layout to my dad for Christmas. He looks great in the picture, and look! They caught fish! Teeny bullheads, but still.

Just some design notes: I sanded the edges to the photos to make them stand out more, and I added the stitching and stamps for some texture, great for a page about boys. The grid stamp, but the way, is to resemble a fishing net. That's about as themey as I can get.

Photography-wise, I added a Pioneer Woman action to the photos called Boost. It drenched the colors with more intense color without getting to bright, nice for an autumn LO.

This past month I was sent not only sketches, but supplies from Jillibean Soup (yum) and two of these, one for me and one for a lucky reader:


Sketches for Scrapbooking 7, a terrific idea book filled with two-page sketches. Maybe you don't need that many two-page idea jumpers? Use them to spark ideas for one page, like I did with this one:

Or make a two page spread, like with this one:

If you want to put your name in the hat for this copy of the book, leave a comment on this post by Sunday, February 13, 8 P.M. CST. Be sure to check back Monday and see who won!

Allison's sketches are the best. They have helped me complete so many layouts and have gotten me over my fear of using patterned papers. Thanks for the chance to win one of her amazing books.

Discovered Sketch Support a few weeks ago...love it! Almost all my layouts are 2-page, so I these sketches are son helpful!

Sue Althouse said...

I already have Book 7, so please choose someone who needs a copy. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your layouts. I've noticed many of the sketches would be perfect for 1-page layouts!

glad she decided to do the sketch month and use so many of you talented designers. Love your layouts!
