This is a sketch of a layout I did several years ago, but I still love it. It is actally the 2nd of a 2 page spread. The first page is turned a quarter turn clockwise putting the 1 x 12 inch strip along the top of the page. And instead of journaling, I put the title on the strip with an embellishment near the left corner.
The background is blue with cream stars of different sizes all over. The photo mat is red, as is the strip under the embellishment and journaling. The journaling block is a piece of cream cardstock that matches the stars, and I wrote in red pen.
The dimensions may be hard to read, so I’ll list them here in case you want to try this one.
12 x 12 patterned paper for background, photo mat is 6.5 x 12, strip behind journaling is 1 x 12, photos are 3 3/4 x 6, journaling block is 3 x 5.5, and the embellishment is approx. 2 x 2.5 (in my layout it is an irregular shaped sticker).
Let me know if you try it out and what kind of changes you make!
Great layout and comments. I will use it. I needed to hear about not stressing about embellishments. dIt is so easy to eat up my time doing that.
I like the no shipping cost special. Very helpful.
Thanks

Thanks Barbara! I’m still trying to figure out the best way to get layouts and sketches on the blog… I want to do one at least once a week. If I had a 12×12 scanner, that would be great, but those are wayyy out of my budget right now.
