Traci - Island Time
For my layout with the sketch, I decided to use the Island Time collection to scrap the last photos I have of surfing in Waikiki. I love, love, love how easily this sketch leant itself to two pages! If you want to see how I did that, check the video below or the blog post here!

Nicole - 50M Freestyle
I had so much fun working with this month’s sketch—it paired perfectly with the bold and sporty 50M Freestyle kit! One of my favorite things about this sketch is how easy it is to customize. I replaced the outer paper layers with hand stitching, keeping the same color placement to reflect the original sketch’s design. Instead of the 3x4 photo, I used a 3x4 journaling card as my title piece, which felt like a fun twist. For the 4x6 photo spot, I leaned into one of my go-to sketch hacks: swapping in a photo collage! I used a 4x6 collage template to include images taken over a six-month period. Since these were distant shots captured on a phone, shrinking them down into smaller sections helped them look crisper—plus it gave me a great way to tell a longer story all on one page.
Michele - The Love List
I love how this sketch emphasizes a single photo. I’m planning to create a coordinating page with the rest of the photos from this event, but I really wanted to spotlight the decades-long friendship between my girlfriends. The strong photo focus, paired with the product accents, makes this sketch incredibly versatile.
Donna - Trailblazer
This is my take on Sketch Sunday 62. I used Traci’s newest collection, Trailblazer. I first started by choosing the paper combination. For the theme I am going for, I chose this photo of my daughter on her 10th birthday. Then I decided on a journaling card and used the cluster placement to add the embellishments. From there, I placed all the other elements I wanted to give more depth to the layout.
Melissa - Hearth & Hollow
I am so excited about the sketch this week! Sketchy Sundays are my favorite . I chose to use the TRD Hearth & Hollow collection. I’m documenting photos of our new house and this collection is just perfect. I used the 12x12 papers printed at 8 1/2x11. I also used a few Ellie’s from the digital collection. I printed the Ellie’s on glossy cardstock so they have some shine to them. They are also popped up on craft foam.
Melinda - Trailblazer
I love scrapping with giant photos so when I saw this sketch I immediately saw a giant photo in place of the photo/journal card block. My family and I recently spent some of the school holidays exploring the beautiful Karijini National Park(google it for sure!!) and the colours worked beautifully with the brand new Trailblazer collection.
I printed my photo to about 29.5cm (just short of 12”) across and also printed a number of the pattern papers for the layers onto some textured white cardstock.
I’ve stuck reasonably close to the sketch and created my page (with a few small changes) from there and LOVE how this turned out!!
