Simple Layout with Scrapbooking sketch #22

Sometimes it helps to have a simple layout made with a scrapbooking sketch to get you off the starting blocks. We hope this idea helps inspire you.

This sketch is similar to sketch 20 but the proportions and order of the layers are different. It’s these little differences that allow the sketches in this mini series to work together.

Try using them in an album with coordinating papers. (We’ll cover that next month after the last sketch is posted.)

Meanwhile here is a sample sketch for those who like to see what we make of the sketches we give you.

Let’s Take a Closer Look

How did we make the layout?

Isabella used two strips of the same paper at either side of the layout, and a dotty paper to echo Victoria’s head band. However, as the template called for a darker color at the right side, she adjusted the color of the paper using the hue/saturation. She then added the pressed petals and blended them with the overlay option in the layers menu.

The buttons also reflect the head band, and the ribbon pulls what could be seen as three separate columns in the layout together.

We hope this simple layout using our scrapbooking sketch 22 challenges you to have a go. Do let us know how you get on.
