She Loves Color 2026 Sketch Guide

5 Original Scrapbook Sketches + 5 Creative Variations | Digital Printable

10 creative possibilities. Endless ways to tell your story!

Originally created as an additional resource for my scrapbook layout classes at She Loves Color 2026, this exclusive Sketch Guide is now available for you to enjoy!

Whether you attended my classes at She Loves Color or are simply looking for fresh inspiration for your next scrapbook project, this guide is designed to help you explore different compositions, experiment with your supplies, and make every layout your own.

Inside, you'll find 5 original scrapbook sketches and 5 creative variations, along with design tips, photo measurements, and ideas for adapting each layout to fit your photos, favorite collections, and personal style.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

5 Original Scrapbook Sketches: Featuring creative designs including a circle mosaic background, photo grid, layered photo strips, patterned-paper borders, and a double-page layout.

5 Creative Variations: Alternate versions of each sketch showing how simple changes to photo placement, titles, embellishments, and composition can create a completely different look.

Sketch at a Glance: Helpful details including photo sizes, orientation, journaling placement, and overall design structure.

Design Tips: Learn how to create balance, movement, dimension, and visual interest in your scrapbook layouts.

Try This! Creative Ideas: Suggestions for experimenting with different photo arrangements, patterned papers, embellishments, and techniques.

Make It Your Own: Flexible ways to personalize each sketch using supplies you already have in your crafty stash.

Black & White Sketches: Easy-to-follow designs that allow you to focus on the composition and imagine each layout in your own colors and style.

MORE THAN JUST A SKETCH!

One of my favorite things about using sketches is discovering how many different layouts can come from the same starting point!

Throughout this guide, I share ideas for rotating designs, adjusting photo sizes, moving titles, changing embellishment clusters, and incorporating techniques such as stitching, layering, and fussy cutting.

The sketches were originally inspired by projects I taught at She Loves Color, but they're not limited to those collections or themes. You can use them with your favorite products to document everything from everyday memories and family adventures to holidays, celebrations, and more!

A LITTLE NOTE FROM ANDREA

I originally put this guide together to give my She Loves Color students an extra resource they could continue using long after our classes were over.

My hope is that you'll revisit these sketches whenever you need a little creative inspiration, whether you're working with a brand-new collection or rediscovering supplies you already love.

Remember, a sketch is just the starting point. You get to decide where your creativity takes you!

Happy crafting, and let's keep telling our stories in full color!

With love,

Andrea
