You will want to use it after you see what Ashley & Martine

sketch with 3x4 photos and adding a 4th picture. Works perfectly!

***********

"Chatouille in the Land of Lobsters" by Martine

left side:

right side:

Martine notes on this great double page layout:

"I kept the basic template, but made a double LO. I used fewer

strips of pp under the photos becaue the pp was pretty busy.

I changed the blocks of photos in order to add some more.

I replaced the banner with a pom-pom trim. I put the title on top

(because the bottom was too busy) and the journaling on the

bottom. I replaced the clouds with cat paws. (And yes, I am 43

years old and I travel with a stuffed animal...and no, I don't

have any kids. lol)"

Such a fantastic idea!

The Sassy Lil' Sketches Ebook is here!

2011-08-14T12:03:00.000-04:00

We are thrilled to announce the first Sassy Lil' Sketches Ebook has been released!

The Sassy Lil' Sketches Ebook features about 70 brand new sketches designed by Cherie Averill!

You'll find sketches for layouts with one, two, three & multiple photos! You'll even find double page sketches! Plus, sample layouts from talented designers that will spark your creativity!

Most of the sketches use standard photo sizes (4x6, 5x7, 8x10). To get extra mileage out of the sketches, switch it up! Use the sketches to create cards, double pagers, etc.! If you need ideas for "switching it up", check out the cards in the Sample Layouts section or visit the Sassy Lil' Sketch blog on Saturdays.

Switch It Up!

2011-08-13T00:00:00.009-04:00

Today Eleni and Nancy have Switched it Up! using this week's

Sassy Lil' Sketch.

"Sweet Baby Memories" by Eleni

Eleni noted that she Switched it Up! by flipping the sketch on its side

to create this wonderfully sweet canvas.

I love that she created a multi-media piece!

************

"Picture Perfect" by Nancy

Nancy noted that she used 3 photos in her layout instead the 2 drawn in this week's sketch.

Such a simply effective way to Switch It Up!
