PageMaps & Simple Stories - Day 2
Hi everyone! Rebecca Keppel here! We've paired up with PageMaps and we'll be bringing you sketches and layouts all week long! I had the pleasure of working with 2 of Becky Fleck's fabulous PageMaps April sketches. I love designing with Becky's sketches because she makes it really simple to pull together a well designed layout. I started with this 12x12 sketch featuring two 3x4 photos:

Since my photos had a horizontal rather than vertical orientation, I rotated the sketch 90 degrees to the left and came up with this layout using Simple Stories Say Cheese II collection.

I loved layering the various patterned papers and the embellishment placement and circular title spot.

The next sketch I used had more small photos:

This time I stayed very true to the sketch.

I used Simple Stories SN@P and Enchanted collections. The Enchanted Chipboard frames were perfect to highlight all the mini photos.

If you love Simple Stories collections, you will love playing with PageMaps because Becky includes tons of fun embellishments and layers in her sketches.
We're doing a fun giveaway with Page Maps this week for a 12x12 SN@P! Album, a 12x12 SN@P! Pocket Page Variety Pack and an I AM... Collection Kit - check it out here!
