Sunday Sketch | Allison Waken

This week, our layout sketch is a 12x12 layout with a grid of photos and diagonal corner papers. Our card sketch features a horizontal stamped band and simple sentiment, and our Project Life® sketch uses two 3x4 pockets with photos and journaling. Get creative and be sure to share your projects here with us! We can't wait to see what you create! Creative Team member Allison Waken is joining us this week and sharing her take on the scrapbook sketch! Be sure to follow Allison here at SC to see more of her work and keep up with her.

Our layout sketch comes from Kelly Noel's 2 layout:

Our card sketch comes from Jenn Picard's Thanks card:

Our Project Life® sketch comes from Geralyn Sy's spread:

I love working from sketches! It's such a great way to get the inspiration flowing and can make pulling a creative layout together that much easier. I used Kelly's scrapbook sketch as inspiration for a card in my Project Life album. I loved the rows of squares she had and decided to use those for my title instead of photos (since Project Life pages are usually already full of photos). I love how the title ended up anchoring that right side and really bringing the whole spread together!

Supplies: Oldenburg Add-On Kit (cards, embellishments);Pop Art Project Life Kit (chipboard stickers); Destination Stamp Set by One Little Bird; Pop Art Alpha Digital Stamp Brushes
