Sketch Challenge 1

 This layout was created for the sketch challenge at The Scrapbook Store, you can check out the sketch Here
just click on the email icon (right hand side) of the website to view the sketch. For this layout I used last years Christmas paper from Crate Paper.
This year I am working on actually getting my layouts  into books! Yes, there are mounds of them stacked high in my workroom. (truth be told, they've kind of moved into the family room as well.) The plus side of working at a scrapbook store is that there is always layouts to be completed to showcase lines of paper. The downside is there isn't always time to scrapbook just for yourself. That's why I like doing the sketch challenge, it's the sketch that  everyone is looking at, so I can have fun with the layout without getting stressed about the amount of product on it. If you have not tried using a sketch, try it out, you might find out you really enjoy this jump- start type of scrapbooking, enjoy!
