It's time for another Life Documented sketch and layout at Simple Stories!
I am having so much fun with these sketches! One side of the sketch follows a more traditional way of scrapbooking while the other side uses the Pocket Pages (divided page protectors).
Here's a look at the new sketch:
The Pocket Page I used for the right page actually has the one 6x8 pocket and then four 6x4 pockets. I changed it up, just like I do with sketches, to fit what I wanted to work with. I wanted to include a few more pictures so I broke the 6x4 pockets up into two 3x4 pieces, one side is a picture and the other side is one of the cards. I was able to include two more pictures this way.
If you want to download the full sketch with measurements and placements be sure to visit the Simple Stories blog and check out my post! You can find the link to download right under the picture of the sketch.
Here's a look at my layout:
I have a feeling that I'm going to be using the Say Cheese line a lot! Jackson absolutely adores Mickey Mouse and we've been to "Mickey's house" a couple times now so I've got a ton of pictures that go well with this line.
Now, I understand that since I am working with Simple Stories that this might sound advertisy (that so isn't a word!) but I'm being 100% honest when I say that his is by far my favorite magical, Mickey-ish (again, not a real word) collection I've seen. It's cute without being over the top cutesy. It's versatile and can work for many themes other than Disney or Mickey. And, I love the blue added in with the traditional black, red, and yellow color combo.
After we at Scrapbook Generation saw the Say Cheese collection we immediately wanted to put together a new sketch book featuring this collection. So, we have teamed up with Simple Stories yet again to bring you another sketch book, Sketch Magic with Simple Stories.
I'm so excited for this book! Partially because I love this collection but also because this is going to help me get a lot of those vacation photos from our trips to Disney in an album!
This time, in celebration of the new sketch book, I'm going to giveaway a copy of this book to two people! This book won't be available until mid-August so the winners can expect to receive the book around then.
To be eligible leave a comment on this post AND my post at Simple Stories. Be sure to use the same name on both posts! I'll randomly select two people to win and announce them on Monday.

I love to take pictures at Disney, I love to scrapbook them (for the first 20 pages or so), then....I lose my momentum. This sketch book would save my sanity! Thanks for the chance to win it!!
Awesome LO Allison!! I was just thinking about you yesterday as I was in a funk with no mojo and my lack of kid friendly papers and here you come to try to save the day!!
I don't know if this will help me but I'll give it a go! (I don't have say cheese but I'll still try to find something!

Gorgeous layout! I've put off scrapping our Disney trip for 5 years waiting for this collection! At least that's the story I'm sticking with.
Great layout! I can't wait for this book and this paper line, I need to get my Disney pics off my computer and into an album!
Can't get enough of the Disney layouts, such inspiration for me since I have a daughter who thinks her number one man is Mickey. LOL!!
As always, a great sketch!

Oh my gosh, this book looks awesome! I have hundreds of Disney photos I need to scrap and I just get so intimidated by them. The Say Cheese collection is soooo awesome! You used it perfectly! Thanks for the chance to win a copy of your book! That's so exciting!
Taking my 5 year old grandson for his birthday in Nov. Trying to start pages to get him to take pictures. Figure if he has a book started he will be more flexible for pictures. This will help me finish his book fast when we get back. He is so excited. Just found this site how awesome.
Your layouts are so fun. I love this line from Simple Stories. Great job mixing traditional and PL in your scrapbook projects.
Love these! I have a ton of Disney pics to scrap and this is going to help me so much!

Love the layout and Simple Stories. Just ordered Sketch Fusion and am so excited to get it in! Awesome work!
Once again... I love your work! The Mickey collection is adorable!
I like the combination of the traditional page and the page protector one. Seems like it would make scrapping quicker and easier.
This book and whole collection are tops on my wish list right now.
I would love to have this. I'm such a huge Disney fan. Plus I have our trip from 2011 to scrap.

Amazing that you create another sketch book! I have lots of Disney pictures to scrap and I will be thrilled to win this sketch book! Thank you for being generous with giving out 2 books!!!

Great pages as always, is there anything you can't do or scrap!! How fun to have a Disney theme sketch book. It's the only place in the world for me and might just live there one day.
Thanks so much for your continued inspiration!
Have a ton of Mickey pictures. Can't wait to get the book. Love your new sketches.

Awesome!! I love your sketchbooks and so excited for this one. Can't wait, I have tons of Disney pictures to scrap. Thanks.

The first trip to Disney World I did two albums for the two grandkids without using sketches. The second trip I did four albums for the four grandkids with sketches. What a difference sketches make. I am going to stock pile Say Cheese and the Disney themed sketch book for the next trip. I have all of the Sketch Books from Scrapbook Generation, I have bought all of the digital downloads from Scrapbook Generation and I have tons of sketches from Scrapbook Generation classes kits and clubs. Ninety nine percent of my layouts are from Scrapbook Generation sketches. You can imagine my excitement when Scrapbook Generation teamed up with one of my favorite paper companies, Simple Stories.
oh, my goodness I just love this sketch... and the paper lines... You always inspire me to mix up all those patterns .. thanks so much for sharing.. and crossing my finger you'll pick me.. it would make a great birthday gift.. wink.. lol
I am so excited about this new sketch book. I can't wait. I keep looking at my Disney pictures and have done nothing with them yet, and now I know why...I was just waiting for this book.

Oh I love this. I am totally inspired to go back and finally scrap my Disney trips! Now I just need to get my hands on this paper!!
Allison you have done it once again, I love this sketch and your layout. Truly amazing. I cannot wait for the new Sketch Fusion book.
Love the new sketch. What a great combination of traditional scrapping and pocket scrapping which is so popular right now. Thanks for the chance to win this amazing book
I love this layout and sketch! And I must say I totally agree with your assessment about the Say Cheese line, I am always on the lookout for Disney looking papers and this has to be one of my all time favorites! Disney papers can tend to look too-cartoonish for my tastes but these papers are spot on!!
This is a beautiful page !
So glad the SG girls teamed up with Simple Stories for another book! You are my Top 2 favorites. Can't wait to see more of your layouts with this line :)
Awesome! Another great team together! Love everything you and SS does!
I need this! I have many years of Disney visits to scrap.
After a long scrapbooking break, I've finally started with an album again. I'm sure you'll be a great source of inspiration and winning your book would be fantastic! Greetings from Belgium, Annelies
Love your sketches Allison and I agree this line of paer is great!! Makes me want to go to disneyland again.
Love your layout! And I agree, that Say Cheese line looks adorable and I can't wait to get it. Your new book looks pretty nifty, too :)
Love your sketches, Allison.
We live 1 hour from Disney World, so we go over there often! Your new book with the Simple Stories paper is perfect! Thank You!
Absolutely love your sketches and have all of your other books. Drove from middle of Kansas to see your store, (awesome!) Only downside was not getting to meet you!
I love being inspired by your sketches! Thanks!
I have Disney photos waiting to be scrapped.
can't wait I have a crop at end of month
I love the look of the new simple stories say cheese paper and can't wait to get my hands on the new sketch book. Thanks for the opportunity to win it.
I would love to win the new Sketch Magic Book and the Simple Stories Say Cheese Collection!
I'd love to win this.
I love reading your blog.
