of sketches you would like to see here on the WIP blog.
certain sizes, certain amounts of photos, etc.
now here is a new sketch for you and what i did with it
using the july main kit.
I love sketches! They give me an idea to go with. Especially when I am stumped as to how to layout my page. Sometimes I just look at it and go a totally different direction, others I follow it to the T.
ReplyDeleteit amazes me how a sketch prompts my thoughts...i guess being a visually driven person it just gives my brain a snapshot and then i can just go with it.
ReplyDeletewould love to see multi photo sketches.
i love how a sketch can be interpreted so many ways, but yet look great if you follow the basic design! they're so fun and flexible!
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch! I personally don't use sketches all the time, but I tend to pull one out when I don't want to do a lot of "thinking" about design, KWIM? I also enjoy creating sketches for my own use, using print ads for inspiration. TFS this one! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love sketches. They really get my creative juices flowing. I really would like to see more multiple photo sketches.
ReplyDeletejanelle this layout is adorable & i love this sketch - as usual. thx for the inspo girl :) mar -
ReplyDeleteI love sketches Janelle because sometimes I just want to make something pretty that doesn't require hours of planning. I take my sketch, my kit, adhesive and just create. It's awesome. I like Jamie's request of sketches with multi photos.
ReplyDeleteLove your sketches and the WIP blog. I can't think of anything I'd like to see different. Keep up the GREAT work ladies.
ReplyDeleteI like sketches because they give me a jumping off point, somewhere to start. Sometimes there's nothing more intimidating than a blank page. I like using sketches to start, but sometimes my LO looks nothing like the sketch by the end and i'm okay with that! :)
ReplyDeleteLike others... I go for the sketch as a starting block. I like to use it and then take it to add my spin on things. Usually once I use that sketch it gets my creative juices flowing to create an original by me :) I would love to see more photos...but on the 8.5x11 size page. Keep up the awesome work!!!
ReplyDeleteI use sketches when I'm stumped. I tend to take hours over pages, and I don't always end up loving the results - sometimes I add one thing and I feel that I ruined the page! When I get stumped, I turn to sketches for inspiration. Although I have to use my creative side to add to the sketch (picking colors, etc...) I feel like the hard work is done for me. I really enjoy sketches that uses a lot of pictures since I tend to take 5 times the amt needed trying to get that "perfect" shot. Often, it's fun to use the not so perfect pics showcasing the one that I actually like!! Thanks for sharing your sketches!!
ReplyDeletei love these sketches. i've never been much of a sketch person, but i love janelle's. they are so easy to use and they fit my style.

I Love sketches for those moments when I need inspiration. I love looking through sketches to see different ideas and how I can arrange pics differntly on a page. Sketches really help me to get out of a rut!
ReplyDeleteAmanda Engweiler
just love these sketches, such inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love sketches. They get me motivated & out of my ruts. I find that sometimes I get into doing one style of layout for awhile. Using a sketch always gets e looking at things a bit differently.
ReplyDeleteI love to see sketches fro 4x6 photos. I have gotten out of the habit of scrapping the "usual" sizes.
I am a sketch whore. There. I said it.
ReplyDeleteAlways have been, always will be.
I'd like sketches for oversized photographs--since that is my other addiction.
Love you, Janelle!!
Janelle, I love your sketches! I turn to sketches for inspiration when I'm stuck on a layout and it really helps. Here's a page I did with the last sketch you posted:

I adore sketches! All kinds, . . . I guess I'm a sketch whore, too, Trish! LOL (You crack me up!) The thing I love about them, is that it gets you past the initial "block" of a page and then you get to just put your own spin on it with all the fun stuff . . . the colors, the shapes, the textures, the PRODUCTS!!! :D :D :D What is so fascinating about them, is how different people interpret them in their own ways depending on that persons creativity, topic, etc. I LOVE to see several variations of the same sketch!
ReplyDeletelove it Janelle. Sketches have all the design work done for me which i love. and i have no suggestions for other sketches. I use a lot of yours and they are to my liking. hugs!
ReplyDeleteI love your sketches and would love to see some 6 x 12 ones!
ReplyDeletei had so much fun playing with this sketch janelle - thx again for the inspo!
