How versatile are sketches????

Every other week one of our DT members at Let's Scrap hosts a challenge. This time it was Beth's turn and I was certainly surprised and had LOTS of fun doing the challenge.
These are the tips she gave:

Do you ever have a sketch you want to use, but you either have more photos that you want to include, or your photos are not in the right orientation?  Often this problem can be solved by using smaller photos.

A horizontal 4 x 6 can become:

• 2 vertical 3 x 4 photos
• 2 horizontal 2 x 6 photos

A vertical 4 x 6 can become:

• two horizontal 3 x 4 photos
• two vertical 2 x 6 photos

The above ideas can be used without changing the sketch at all.  With just some slight changes to the sketch you could also use:

• two 3 x 3 photos
• two wallets 

If you really want to include a lot of photos, try using 2 x 2 photos.  You can substitute six 2 x 2 photos in place of just one 4 x 6 photo.  

Isn't that the coolest? Well, I played with one of our sketches and this is what I came up with. For those who recognize the patterned paper on this one: Yes, it is the Girls Paperie Christmas line. When I saw the sheet with the roses on there I knew I HAD to have it, you have to agree with me: There's nothing Christmassy going on on this LO. When I would not have told you, you would not have known. 

For me this was #22 in the LOAD challenge (layout a day), so I am doing pretty good. I do not think I have ever made so many LO's in such a short period of time. 

I splashed some StazOn re-inker on my background cardstock to make it more appealing. Just used a small brush and started playing. Just make sure your ink ends up ON the cardstock, not on everything around you. The splashing is really hard to control, LOL
