Sketch class catch-ups

You will have to excuse my terrible photographing of these layouts, I have so much trouble getting them 'square-on'...

Sketch class 7 ...
Two examples from the same sketch, one a traditional 12x12 double layout and the other using the pocket pages by Kaisercraft.

 here is the traditional sample, using the Kaisercraft Hello Sunshine range. I hand cut the cute animals and created a long border across the top and a smaller 6x4 (ish) element on the bottom right corner. The photos and other patterned paper blocks were 6x4 trimmed slightly to allow for a mini margin around each piece. I have to confess though, the title should actually say Taronga Zoo but by the time I had cut the word Auckland on my Cameo and chose the photos I was in too much of a hurry to change it. I will cut a new title next time I am in my scraproom. 

now for the pocket page layout using the same long border and title element. I like to create simple sample layouts for these sketch classes so that newbie scrappers aren't overwhelmed by to many embellishments, The advanced scrappers in class just blow me over with how awesome they embellish, so each double pager created from the one sketch is so different to another, and they all look wonderful, how cool is that?!

 Sketch class 8...
Two samples using totally different Kaisercraft collections...

for this layout I have used the Happy Snaps collection, I personally think buying a collection packis the way to go as you get two of each sheet of patterned paper plus a sticker sheet, and at Scrapbook Corner you can save $13.60 buying that way!!!  I like using 6x4 photos (both landscape and portrait) on one double page layout as this is the standard size most of us print, but as usual with a sketch the photo sizes could be altered, for example the two photos on the left size could be three 4x4 and the three on the right side could equally be smaller or larger depending on what you have got. Imagine that right hand block being a 12x6 photo or even six 4x4 photos.

now if I remember correctly this is the Kaisercraft Key to my Heart collection plus a couple of doilies and a title cut on my Cameo. I have swapped out one of the 6x4 photo spots for journalling and created a 'two-up' collage for that top right photo.

Sketch class 9 sneak peek...

this sketch will be a double page traditional layout using 6x4 photos - two portrait and three landscape orientation but could easily be changed to smaller or larger photos. More info here on Scrapbook Corner's class calendar I hope to see you there :)
