Sketch Week, Part 1

After spending last night sick I'm hoping that Sketch Week will make me feel better! Thank goodness for laptops and warm, comfy blankets.

Can you believe that in January it will go from Sketch Week to Sketch Month? That alone is enough to already have me feeling a little better.

For the last two Sketch Weeks the sketches have been a little heavy on the design side. I tried on a few of my layouts to show you ways to simplify it. This week I'm doing the opposite. The sketch is on more of the simple side and I'm going to show you some ways to amp it up. And on Friday, I'll introduce you to this week's Guest Designer, Carolyn. Trust me, you'll love her layout!

We've also got a new sponsor for November, American Crafts. They've put together a fabulous giveaway for this week!

The sketch that is used as the starting point for each layout this week.

 • The sketch is available to download and print by clicking here. The printable version has the full sketch with all the measurements and placements.

Layout #1 - S.D.C. Ball Park
 

Supply list - Everything is from the American Crafts City Park Collection.

Variation #1
One thing I love about sketches with a large background is the many, many possibilities you have to play around with it. Because it is behind everything on the layout you can do almost anything without having to adjust anything else on the layout. On today's layout I used 1" circles in place of the background block of paper. Together all of the circles are the same size as the block of paper, it's just divided into several different pieces.

I had decided circles would be a fun addition to the page and would be a good support for the theme of the layout and the pictures. Any shape would work for this. Just think of any small shape punches you might have like stars, hearts, squares, butterflies, etc.

Variation #2
Because I had so many circles on the background I tried to stay away from using circles for my embellishments as well. With the busy background I went with simple tags in the three embellishment areas.

Variation #3
Even if you aren't completely comfortable with changing up the elements on the sketch, (like adding more paper, using larger embellishments, removing elements, etc.), you can always get a different look by simply flipping the sketch. Flipping the sketch, like I have done with mine, is incredibly easy to do and gives the layout a different look.

Variation #4
There are always ways to add enlargements to a sketch and usually it only takes a few minor adjustments. I substituted a 5 x 7 for one of the 4 x 6 photos. If you think about it, it's only a 1" difference which isn't really a lot.

Variation #5
Number five is actually two variations in one because they both worked together. Because I added the 5 x 7 I ended up leaving myself very little room for my journaling. Instead of trying to squeeze a few lines of journaling in above the picture and limiting my story I decided to use a smaller photo for the other 4 x 6 photo. This gave me plenty of room for the journaling beside the 5 x 7 and above the smaller photo.


Now, take a look at this awesome giveaway from American Crafts...


That is a ton of product - cardstock, patterned paper, lots of embellishments, tags, brads, ribbon, journaling stickers, Thickers...it is a lot of stuff! And you can never, ever have enough Thickers!

In addition to the American Crafts giveaway I'll also be doing a giveaway for a copy of Sketches for Scrapbooking, volume choice is all yours.

I'll be posting everyday, Monday - Friday. All week you'll have a chance to leave a comment and next Monday I'll post the winners. You can leave more than one comment through the week to be eligible (five days = five chances to win!) but not on the same day.

Great sketch and awesome giveaway! Love your layout - my, that was a lot of circle cutting!

Carolyn Wolff said...

This is a spectacular sketch. I had so much fun creating with it. I love all your variations and the circles are an amazing idea.

Thanks for the inspiration.

That package of goodies from American Crafts looks very yummy!

Jody B. said...

Love the layout, I never would have thought to do all the circles as the background. Looks great. I can't wait to give this sketch a try!!!

Anonymous said...

First of all, I hope you get to feeling better real soon! Secon, I love how you used circles for the background instead of a solid piece of patterned paper. What a wonderful way to use of any or all of your scraps.

Alison - hope you're feeling better. It sure didn't keep you from another great layout. Love the circles for the background paper - great for this layout!

Miranda said...

Love the circle background! CUTE!

Amy from KC said...

I hope you get better soon, Ali. From what I hear, the SG Birthday Party was a blast for everyone. Maybe you are just recovering from that!?

I love the circles on this layout, but would love to know how you kept them so straight. If just a couple were off, it could throw the whole thing askew. (This is what would almost certainly happen to me, so I am looking for any tips you have!)

I can't wait to hear details on how sketch week is going to morph into sketch month!

Tiffany said...

So adorable with all the circles and buttons!

Sarah Harwood said...

Hooray for sketch week. I look forward to it. I love the circles but wow, what a lot of work.

Catherine Chiarino said...

I love the idea of using circles or other shapes as the back drop of this layout. I have some pics of this same place-I might just have to copy this idea for that page:-)

molitva said...

Sketch week!! Just in time for these freshly printed photos! Thanks for the chance to win.

Ginny H said...

Yeah for sketch week! Makes me not quite as sad that Sketch Support is over.

Allison Davis said...

Amy, as long as you get one row straight the rest should follow but I always use an adhesive that I know I can pull up easy just in case I do get them a little out of line. I also kept a ruler on hand to help with lining some of it up. It really is easier than it looks!

Mary Bez said...

Love the idea of the circles for the background.....very cute. You always have such amazing ideas!!

Scrapthat said...

this is a fabulous LO with lots of possibilities! LOVE it!
I love how you used the circles for your BG paper. Cute pics too!
Great giveaway!
Feel better Ali...sorry your not well :( Take care.

I really love this new sketch and your layout with all the circles.

I love "surprises"... I checked in this morning, having forgotten about sketch week. Made me so happy! Love the simplicity of the layout, contrasted with what I'm assuming was labor intensity on the background circles. I'm imagining hearts for Valentine's day, or even ornaments (different styles?) for Christmas! What fun! Thanks for sharing! And, oh yeah, that giveaway looks AMAZING!
