500 Scrapbooking Sketches E-Book

500 Scrapbooking Sketches is a resourceful planning guide for both beginners and seasoned scrapbookers.

Life can get busy and scrapping times can be limited. So during such moments, all you want is a "surefire way" to put together a page quickly before you make an exit! That's why I find Jennifer Gormly's e-book to be a practical guide. She's an expert on single-page scrapbook layout sketches.

What's winning about Jennifer's scrapbook sketches? They come in a hassle-free and easy-to-follow black & white format. Besides the placements of standard elements, she dropped in some "extra bits" like border strips, row of circle embellishments, hanging tags, etc to spice up the looks of her various sketches.

Note: 500 Scrapbooking Sketches is an e-Book (electronic book) which you can download to your computer as soon as you order. No postal /shipping fee.

Let's take a look at one of Jennifer's sketches and see how she created a layout based on her own scrapbooking sketch right below.

500 Scrapbooking Sketches Gets Results

When I first chanced upon this e-Book, I was excited as it claims to have one of the largest collections of sketches ever.

I gotta say I got instant results from this e-book. How? It came out at the right time when I've just decided to start a new a scrapbook album based on mostly single-page layouts.

To put my newly-acquired 500 Scrapbooking Sketches e-Book to a "road test", I decided to meet up with a good friend for a scrapping and chatting session one Sunday afternoon. Both of us have not been paper scrapping for months and this was the "getting back into the groove" scrapping session. We were getting "rusty"...

Our goal was to create two theme pages for that session. She didn't use any scrapbooking sketches while I had chosen two sketches from my new e-Book to use.

As I already knew which sketches from 500 Scrapbooking Sketches I would be using, I set down to work immediately with my chosen supplies while she stared at her photos...

Results? I created two scrapbook pages as shown below during that meet-up. My friend? She struggled to finish up on just one layout.

Created based on Sketch 003 from 500 SS e-Book

Note: The sketch didn't come with a "Title", so I added in my own title. I also added a flower embellishment at the top left corner of the photo.

Supplies used: Patterned paper- Basic Grey Urban Couture "Jacquard"; Cardstocks - The Paper Company; Letter stickers - Thickers by American Crafts; Flowers - Prima Marketing; Pens - Staedtler Triplus Fineliner, White UniBall Signo; Others: Buttons.

Created based on Sketch 005 from 500 SS Sketches e-Book

Note: The sketch offers single block of journaling, but I decided to break it into two blocks of journaling on the notebook papers. I also sprinkled different embellishments on the layout.

Supplies used: Patterned paper - Basic Grey Urban Couture "Gabardine"; Cardstocks - The Paper Company; Flowers - Prima Marketing; Letter Stickers - Thickers by American Crafts; Pens - Staedtler Triplus Fineliner; Others: Measuring Tape patterned paper, buttons, notebook papers.

One thing to note - Some of Jennifer's sketches are without "Titles" and some don't include journaling area. So don't be surprised when you come upon those. Not all pages need a title and not all pages need journaling. If you still feel like something is "missing", simply add in your own title/journaling, like I did for one of the sketches above.

With this e-Book, accomplishing a few stunning scrapbook layouts after a scrapping session is very possible.

Update: Here's another layout that I did using Jennifer's sketch. I like how this sketch could fit 7-photos and I immediately thought of using it for a recent event that I attended.
