Sketch Thursday

Hey there! It’s Jen with a new Thursday sketch for you. This sketch is based on one of my favorite layouts in the Design Team Gallery by Melissa Mann. I love the impact that the large photo has on this layout (and it’s so cute!), but I wanted to show you how you can achieve a similar look using any size photos.

I used two 4×6 photos, the January kit + vellum hearts, and some patterned papers from the Thankful and Joyful collections. I love how it turned out and I love the way a sketch allows you to worry less about the design of your layout and focus on the fun stuff!

If you want to see my process, you can watch me put it all together in this video:

And, here are some close ups of the layout:
