Hi everyone! Allison here with a layout using the We Are…Family collection. I also have another sketch to share that mixes up the traditional scrapbooking style with the SN@P! Pocket Pages.

You can download the full sketch with measurements and placements here.



The left side of the sketch is designed in a traditional scrapbooking style while the right side uses photos and cards together with the SN@P! Pocket Page, Design 4.

 

Here is my layout based on the sketch:







For the first few years of our youngest son’s life, he was a hard core “daddy’s boy.” Mike couldn’t take two steps without Jackson being right by his side. We were talking the other day about how we wished we could calculate how many miles Mike has walked carrying Jackson. It’s got to be a lot! 







On of my favorite things about the We Are…Family collection is the mix of the dark brown with brighter colors. The photos I wanted to use were kind of drab in the terms of color so I loved how this collection gave me the opportunity to brighten up my layout with some fun colors while still including some browns to tie it to the pictures. 







I accented with vertical strips on the sketch with vertical rows of hearts with a stitched line down the middle. 







I repeated the vertical rows of hearts in several areas of the left page and accented them with some teeny tiny hearts too.







I also added some embellishments and word stickers to the larger hearts in two of the rows. 







For the title I used the large ampersand and added the “me” and “my dad” to it and then added some more of the teeny tiny hearts around it. 







On the right page I used photos, a 3 x 4” card, four 2 x 2” elements, and a 2 x 12” element with the SN@P! Pocket Page, Design 4. I love the design of this Pocket Page because of the 2 x 12” pocket. There are so many fun ways to use that one!

I used a 2 x 12” element strip covered in a long row of hearts in the 2 x 12” pocket. I also added a stitched line over the top of the hearts.







In the top 6 x 4” pocket I cut a 6 x 4” piece of cardstock and adhered four 2 x 2” squares and two 2 x 2” photos to it. This was an easy way to include an extra picture and have some fun with more elements on the page!







I love the photo overlays in each collection. It’s such an easy way to add some interesting elements to a photo. 







On the “good stuff” card I added a little bit of hand stitching around the heart. I love adding details to the cards with hand stitching! 







I also added a little bit of stitching around the heart on the bottom of a photo and then accented it all with more hearts and an arrow sticker.



I hope you all enjoy using the new sketch!
