Scrapbooking and Card Sketches

**Stitch** · 07-28-2006, 11:21 PM

A scrapbooking or card sketch is a drawing that a designer creates to help scrappers create layouts. These sketches can be followed 100% or they can be used loosely as a guide.

Sketches are created with a certain page size in mind, but will a little bit of adjusting they can be tailored to fit any size. Same thing with card sketches…see one you like, make it in to a page!

Here are some examples of a card sketch and a scrapbooking one, and the items made from them.

5 x 5 Card Sketch

Card Created from Sketch

8 x 8 Layout Sketch

Layout created from Sketch

Some excellent websites to find free sketches are:
Pagemaps and Sketchlover
Both websites contain sketches for 8 1/2 x 11 and 12 x 12 layouts.

There are also some books out there that are nothing but sketches and samples made from the sketches.

- Creative Sketches for Scrapbooking by Becky Higgins
(Available in a volume 1 and 2)

- The Joy of Card Making

- The Joy of Card Making: A Second Helping

Any questions?

That's cool. Those could be really helpful to those who have a hard time deciding placement for their pages.

Thank you April. This might help me from taking 2 hours to work on 1 page!

I never think to sketch out anything, but I love these layouts!
Thanks for posting these!!!

You mean April isn't at home doing this to you....

Goofygirl · 07-29-2006, 05:34 PM

Um, yeah but I really didin't want anyone to know....ouch! She actually played the mom and bribed me by saying she would get me a Cricut, which I really want, if I continued to scrap.

TY for the link Ann. Those are awesome. I usually have to play around with my layouts more then I like cause I work in the 8 1/2 x 11 size and have to adapt the 12x12 ideas I see to fit. THere are some neat ideas that I already have my brain working on there. LOL

OH>>>>what is a Cricut?

sounds like a torture device. "if you dont behave I will have to cricut you...HA"

I am in sarcasm mode today-money issues are making me cranky. Ignore me, everyone else does.

**Stitch** · 07-29-2006, 07:08 PM

Did you check out the links I posted, I made sure they had 8.5x11 just for you!

Cricut - pronouced Cricket...an electronic die cutting system from Provocraft.

vixen101485 · 07-29-2006, 07:32 PM

lol...i didnt even see them ty on both counts

AnnF · 07-30-2006, 07:07 PM

Cricut is in my opinion one of the best die cut machines out there, I use the one at work all the time. I have some examples at home I'll see if I can post one later,

I agree it is a great electronic die cut machine....but my heart still belongs to Quickutz.

Being new to this group I haven't quite figured out how to navigate everything. Where do I post my work if I get this challenge done? Is there another message on the board for results for the challenges? Sorry I don't have a clue! I might be asking for more help in the future so be gentle with me. ;o)
