If you are new to Sketch Week here's a little run down of how it works:
Each month I'll be using the free download sketch that you can find in the Scrapbook Generation online store.
(On the third Tuesday of the month we
introduce a bunch of new sketches both as individuals and as groups of
sketches that you can download for a small price. We also offer a free
sketch each month. I'll post all information for the new August
downloads tomorrow.) Today you are getting an advanced look at the free
sketch since it is the sketch we are using for Sketch Week.
I'll be posting layouts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and will have links throughout the week to more blogs sharing layouts based on the free sketch. Today the talented Katrina Hunt has a fun two-page layout to share. You can check it out by visiting here blog here:
This month the free download is a two-page sketch.
Scrapbook Generation's Free September Sketch

"My Cool Dude"
I stayed very close to the sketch for this layout.
Variations #1 - The only thing I did differently than the sketch was used different sizes of stars. I still followed the same general arrangement. I had a piece of patterned paper that had a stars that were perfect for cutting out and they just so happened to be the perfect color of blue to match the blue on Jackson's sunglasses. The stars were all the same size so I didn't use as many different sizes as the sketch suggests.
I used a large "naked" chipboard star with twine tied on it for the larger star.
I added brads and words to the smaller stars.

Happy Sketch Week!!!
I love sketch week...I hope to find time this week to play along!
I was just surfing sites and stumbled on yours. This is truly my lucky day! Love your ideas, sketches and layouts. Plus a contest. I feel like I've already won with all this great inspiration!
He is seriously loving school! He is so eager to be independent and I've seen him really lose a lot of his shyness already. I have to admit that his want for independence is hard for me (he's my baby!) but, at the same time I'm so proud of him for jumping in and doing so well. His teacher actually emailed me last week to tell me that he was a very kind and responsible little boy and that he was a great role model for his class. I was so proud! :)
I love the cute simplicity of this! I think it's great and looking forward to seeing the rest of the weeks projects.
Oh my goodness!!! I love that layout!!!!
And a great sketch too! I can see myself using it over and over again!
Allison - thanks for all you do in putting together this sketch support. I know you're busy but it's SO very helpful!

Your colors are dynamic and your accent pieces are just as always- outstanding.
