Happy National Scrapbook Day! I hope you all have time to do a few layouts today and I thought I would help by sharing a few new Sketches! For my example I have used BasicGrey's ultra cute Bow Ties collection with the coordinating Candy Dots and Bottlecap stickers. For close ups and details visit my blog HERE.

Just look at this awesome layout by Kathy Perry, this layout and the papers she chose seem to just be made for Epcot. I may have to copy this whole page. I love the fresh look and to me, it feels like Epcot. Visit Kathy's gallery here. 

And for something super cute, look at Christine Perez's layout! Is that not the cutest face on that big Caramel kitty! Visit Christine's blog here. 

 Here is a cute monochromatic take on this sketch by Darcy. I love the papers she has chosen, most especially the background. Visit Darcy's blog here.

Sketch #100 12x12

Sorry I haven't posted in sooooo long. I have had holidays and family life making me lazy. I decided to go ahead and post two layouts for you today. Thanks for sticking with me :) Thanks to everyone who has commented and shared a link to a page using a sketch, I just love seeing your creations.

And funny enough this just happens to be Sketch #100. I have a page done with this sketch but it has been sort of published so I can't share at this time. I will get a new example for you soon.

My good friend, Laurie, was kind enough to create the example for this layout for me. I just love her "Casa de la tires" banner and the great pappers she used, but the flowers are incredible! Visit Laurie's Blog here for details and close ups. 

Here is an example from a follower "Scrappin Hard" and you just have to love the fun arrow design and cute camera. Visit Scrappin Hard's blog HERE.

Sketch #99 12x12

 For my example I have used Echo Park's "So Happy Together" collection. For close ups and details, visit my blog HERE.

Here is a great take on this sketch with a totally different style than my page. Tami went for a more retro look with Basic Grey Hipster to go with her photo. Visit Tami's Blog here

Now for one of your examples. This one is from ScrappinHard and it's just adorable with her little pumpkin. I think my fave bit is the trees up there in the corner, SO cute. Visit ScrappinHard's Blog HERE for more close ups.

Joni Parker sent me this fun page about something from her bucket list and I love that it's one of my fave places too. Such a fun vacationy looking page. For more of Joni's creations, visit her blog HERE.

Sketch #93 12x12"

 

Sometimes a sketch catches your eye and you really want to do it but you don't have the correct number of photos. Do you have to find another sketch? no, not at all. Bend the sketch to your own style and photos. I will probably scrap this one again with two photos because I really like it, but I only had one photo of my son "Whacking a Alien" so here is my interpretation + aliens. I used October Afternoon papers.

 

Here is another Disney layout but totally different! This one is by my friend, Laurie, in the Haunted Mansion queue. For details and close ups, visit Laurie's blog HERE. 

Here is a layout by Brenda and she also used one layout but in a different way. What a great layout and do you love her tag? Visit Brenda's blog HERE for more of her layouts.
