"Just One Picture"
Supplies - Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned paper: Simple Stories and Webster's Pages, Allison Kreft Designs; Wood Veneers: Studio Calico; Alphabet stickers: October Afternoon and American Crafts; Heart punch: Martha Stewart; Arrow sticker: Simple Stories; Embroidery floss: DMC
Variation #1 - One great thing about this sketch is that it can easily be split into a one-page layout, especially the left page. I wanted to use the left side because it stands alone with minimal to no adjustments.
Variation #2 - One of my favorite things about adjusting this sketch into a one-page layout is the endless possibilities for adding a background to the page. I added a bunch of strips in different heights and widths as my background. Here are some more ideas:
• Add a large square background, like 10" or 11" square.
• Add a decorative background like a die cut paper.
• Use a template or mask with inks or paints to create a background.
• Add a large shape like a heart, star, circle, etc.
• Add a bunch of smaller squares like 1", 2", or 3"
• Combine this photo arrangement with the paper design of another one-page sketch.
This sketch is definitely one that you can use over and over and get completely different looks with just one small adjustment.
Variation #3 - For the pictures, I followed the sketch exactly except for leaving one photo off to use as my journaling space. That's always an easy solution for a sketch that might not have as much journaling space as you would like. Just exchange a photo or element on the sketch for journaling space.
Variation #4 - Instead of using the stars on my layout I used hearts, cameras, and arrows to fit my theme.
Be sure to check back on Friday to see the last layout of Sketch Week!

The first thing I thought when I saw this LO is how easily it could make a super cute one page LO!
And your LO is just that...super cute!
I did a LO on the exact same subject (used an SG sketch for it also) so you're not alone with trying to get that perfect shot!
Everything about this is stunning! Thanks for sharing!
I love how you used that Simple Stories paper!
love this one. thanks for the ideas on easy changes for different results
Love the arrows and the colors. They make the pictures stand out so much. What a great one page variation.
This layout is beautiful. I love the background you created.
I thought this sketch would be perfect for a one pager. SO happy you did that.
WOW WOW WOW, love the background you did, fun and colorful!
How sweet the pictures are and so true for a lot of us moms.
LOVE THIS ALLISON!!
Completely awesome.
Completely colorful.
Completely fun.
Completey y.o.u!
I love, love this. Saving a copy now- I think this might just be my next layout. Did I mention that this LO is awesome?
This looks great! Seems very simple and fast. Love the look, and as always, the hand stitching!
Fantastic!! What I love about this sketch is how easily either side makes a one page layout, so it's like three sketches in one (yes, I know you can adapt any sketch, but this one is just so easy to adapt). I adore the SS chevron paper cut up like this...it rocks! Colorful and fun, great layout!
As soon as I saw this sketch, I knew I would use it as a one-page layout. Loved that you used it that way too!!
so colorful and love the chevron pattern!
Another great layout!
Very pretty layout, love the stripes behind the photos !

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!!!!!
thank you for the inspiration-love the reduction to one page and the arrows wonderful & quick
Been reading on a lot of the forums about how that left page would make a wonderful one pager. And you proved them right.
Totally played along in a timely manner this time LOL!

This sketch made a very nice one page layout. Everyone is loving chevron right now (me too). This is a great use of some strips of SS line. Thanks for sharing!
Super cute! Love the layered chevron strips and the darling camera & heart embellies!
Thank you for showing a one-page layout. I've always been a two pager but this last year started making more and more one-pagers! Always nice to have some fresh ideas! Really like your embellishments you made!
