How to Use Scrapbook Sketches | Sketch Sunday 12x12 Scrapbook Layout Tutorial | Sketch Sunday

Описание: Sketch Sunday

Welcome back to Sketch Sunday! In today’s episode, I’m diving into page 6 of the classic 101 Scrapbooking Ideas & Sketches book—an older sketchbook from 2003 that proves one thing: great sketches never go out of style.

I’ll walk you through how I:

Adapt an older scrapbook sketch with no cutting guide

Flip a vertical sketch into a horizontal 12x12 layout

Use paper welding to reduce bulk while maximizing patterned paper

Add scalloped and wave borders for movement and texture

Choose photo sizes and matting to fit real-life memories

Build a coastal / New England–inspired scrapbook page using modern products

This layout is perfect for vacation photos, coastal trips, New England memories, or seaside storytelling, and I share my thought process step by step so you can recreate (or customize!) the design for your own albums.
