Hi everyone! Stacey here, with a sketch for your scrappy Thursday. It’s no secret that I like to line things up...squares, frames, and grids are pretty much it for me! This week’s sketch is one that I have used over and over because I tend to take way too many pictures, and this grid sketch allows me to use many photos at once.
You’ll notice that I didn’t put the title on my layout in the same place that I put it on the sketch. That’s okay! The sketch is just a guide. Here’s my layout:
And here’s a little close-up of my journaling block:
I think I used four different October Afternoon collections on this layout: The Thrift Shop, 5 and Dime, Fly a Kite, and Seaside...I love mixing them up!
I sent my sketch to Kinsey Wilson to see what she would come up with, and she sent me this amazing card! I really love what she did with the sketch:
Kinsey also used several October Afternoon collections. How many do you see?
Here’s a closer look:
So, there you go...a layout and a card using the same sketch. Does this inspire you to create? If so, don’t forget to post your creation in our Flickr pool!
What a wonderful scrapbook page! :) Hope to play along later!

Cowgirlpal-
The rectangles on my card were made using the postage stamp punch by fiskars and they measure approx. 1.5 x 1 inches.
Thanks for stopping by!

What size are the rectangles in Kinsey's card? I make cards for Operation Write Home and this would be perfect! Thank you for the inspiration and details!
