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 May downloads tomorrow.) Today you are getting an advanced look at the free sketch since it is the sketch I'm using for Sketch Week.
This month the free download is a two-page sketch.
Scrapbook Generation's Free May Sketch
*available for download on Tuesday, May 21
"Hot Chocolate Happiness"
Supplies - Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned paper: Fancy Pants Designs; Alphabet stickers: Fancy Pants Designs; Snowflake punch: Martha Stewart; Corner rounder: Fiskars; Jewels: KaiserCraft
Variation #1 - I followed the sketch almost exactly, except for the embellishments. I used snowflakes to fit the theme of my layout. I also used an add-on sketch from Sketch Support for the hot chocolate mug.

ReplyDeleteWhy Sketch Week is better than Christmas:
ReplyDelete1. I don't have to clean up from it.
2. I don't have to plan, prepare, cook, buy or wrap anything.
3. No fruit cake.
4. It is always a gift of crafty goodness that I will surely love.
5. No traveling with a toddler and a baby...it comes to me right here on my computer!
6. No weight gain.
7. When it is over, I don't have to wait a whole year to do it all over again!
Thanks Allison!
Can't wait to see what you do with this sketch all week. Yea!!

Your sketches are so much fun and make scrapbooking such a breeze, especially when you have a creative block.
ReplyDeleteAllison, I am sharing these with my sister inlaw who is grieving the loss of her son and she told me WE rekindled a spark in her and is so grateful ..
ReplyDeleteYour work here means more than you know! hugs!

So many things I like about this sketch...I take most of my photos in vertical orientation and this sketch let's me get not 1 but 5 on 1 layout. As always thanks for providing me with a great springboard for more layouts!
