Sketch Swap Information Thread

[AlexWyattMommy]

Thanks. It is the first time I've used my huge pile of scraps in a long time. Most of the examples looked like they had all different pieces, but I like the repeat of patterns in mine. I am so weird like that.

I am so excited for this swap. Everyone who has shown interest makes awesome swap items. I think we will be seeing some great pages.

I have never done anything like this, so it looks a bit intiminating to me....will take a good look at the sites and let you know if I will be able to join or not!

Lisa--that's how I felt the first time I did a sketch swap. After you figure out the measurements and your paper/embellies the pages go really quick

I really love the pages on the first site where the Disney pages are made with non-traditional paper/colors. I think I might try that for a few of my layouts in my cruise album.

Lisa, I'm sitting out unless an angel is needed because of back to school... but I'm willing to be your go to girl and help in any way if you decide to join..

Like Cheryl said it is really easy... it's just deciding on the color combo and the title (titles are the worst for me)

I am going to sit this one out...between finishing up my other swaps and making a MAW album for my friends I don't want to overextend my self for the rest of the summer!

will be peeking in on what everyone creates though and might try my hand at some of the sketches for my albums done the road!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

We will miss you.

I may give this one a try. However, I have never done a sketch swap so you will have to excuse me if I have to ask a lot of questions. There are some great sketches that I am going to scraplift for my regular scrapbooking!

Questions are good.

Looking forward to having you play.

Ann, What time are sign ups on Sunday? Gotta see if I need a sign up buddy since we'll be at church in the morning. Thanks!

Questions about titles for ya Ann:

Would this work or do you prefer a more generic one?

Group 12 Girls:
(song title by popular girl artist Katie Perry. The song is about self esteem and self worth in case your boys don't listen to this music.)
Baby You're a Firework

I could use red, white, blue theme to make it more useable for a July 4th holiday layout.

Another question:

for the color groups--do we need to use all the same color but just a mix of patterns and cardstock? Entire layout is yellow for example? What about the title and embellishments--can those be a contrasting color? Trying to picture this in my head.

This group is for girls. You should use whatever colors work for your idea. I think perhaps the chorus or a few lines from the song could be incorporated somehow into your layout. I think that would be pretty awesome.

As long as you can tell the main color is a yellow, any other accent or contrasting color is good. Patterns or solids, anything goes. If I picked brown, I would probably use a blue as the accent since lots of patterns have those two colors together.
