Inspired Blueprints | Sketch 95

Welcome to another Friday sketch release! This week, we have a very versatile two photo sketch for you. Don't have two 3x4 photos in your stash? Consider swapping them out for one 6x4, or any other combination of photos you desire. Check out the design teams work below for loads of inspiration...

Layout by Chloe Nielsen
Chloe has turned the sketch on it's side to accommodate two landscape orientation photos. Love the floral spray Chloe has added to her background!
Layout by Elina Stromberg
Elina has stayed fairly true to the sketch, adding more masculine embellishments to compliment the photos of her son. Elina has also swapped out the two photos, for a slightly smaller size.
Layout by Fiona Johnstone
Fiona thought it was such a fab sketch she left it as it is and created a funky inked background. Fiona also loved the shape of the bottom paper so she traced a diecut shape onto her patterned paper.
Layout by Rikki Graziani
Rikki has also rotated the sketch, swapping out the two photos for a larger portrait of her son. The bracket feature has be replaced by a fun cluster of tags.
Layout by Cassie Wiscarson
Cassie has changed the two 3x4 photos to 3x5 instead, and added a cluster of embellishments to the left side as well.
Digital Layout by Kirsty Blinston
Kirsty has stayed pretty close to the sketch, using one large photo instead of the two photos indicated in the sketch. Kirsty has used minimal accents on her layout so that her photo pops. By the way...how cute is the bow!

Inspired Blueprints | Sketch 94

Welcome to another sketch release here at Inspired Blueprints! This week, we have a one photo sketch that features a scattering of embellishments and journaling strips...let's see how the design team have tackled this one...
Layout by Chloe Nielsen
Chloe has swapped out the 5x7 photo, for a 6x4 print, then added some extra patterned paper strips in place of the washi tape feature.
Layout by Amanda Lawrence
Amanda has flipped the sketch, and mounted her 6x4 photo so that it still fills the same space as a 5x7 photo. Love the sprinkling of sequins!
Layout by Dana Tatar
Dana used the mirror image of the sketch and instead of a 5x7 photo, creating a small scene with a die-cut, doily and wallet-sized photo.
Digital layout by Kirsty Blinston
Kirsty has framed her photo, and added a cluster of flowers and bling below. The rest of her layout remains true to the sketch.
Layout by Linda Zanotti
Linda has used a 4x6 photo, moving it off the edge of the paper. Linda has also included a sentence title in a mix of small and large alpha instead of journaling.
Layout by Lisa Warren
Lisa has stayed true to the sketch, only swapping out the 5x7 photo for a standard 6x4 print. Instead of adding journaling strips, Lisa has used word stickers...a quick and easy way to finish off your layout, without having to write a single word!
Layout by Rikki Graziani
Rikki has moved her photo from the edge of her layout, and added a cluster of fussy cut flowers below. In place of the scalloped border down the right hand side, she's added colourful pennants.
Layout by Cassie Wiscarson
Cassie has stayed true to the sketch and used this pretty glittered paper to her advantage!
Layout by Azumi Izuno
Azumi has created a layout in a mirror image of the sketch, including a sprinkling of diecut stars in place of the flowers.
Layout by Gail Lindner
Like Chloe, Gail has added strips of paper alongside the photo! She's also taken advantage of that bit of space along the right hand side of the sketch by using a patterned paper that had the chevron designs already printed on it!

Inspired Blueprints | Sketch 93

This week, we have a fun sketch featuring loads of mini photos for your inspiration! Check out the design team's work to see their fabulous variations on the sketch.

Layout by Rikki Graziani
Rikki has stayed true to the spirit of the sketch, using slightly larger photos and eliminating some of the patterned paper.

Layout by Arianna Festi
Arianna has flipped the sketch on it's side, then substituted the photo block with a note from a friend. What a lovely way to record special memories.

Layout by Cassie Wiscarson
Cassie replaced the photo block with two 3x5 photos. She's also added some extra embellishments to her layout for a little more flair.

Layout by Elina Stromberg
Elina loved the green colour on the shirt her little one was wearing, and wanted to use the same color on the watercolor/mixed media backgound. Elina has stayed fairly true to the sketch...just putting her own spin on it.

Layout by Fiona Johnstone
Fiona has replaced the bottom row of photos with a punched border, and slightly reduced the top half of the paper.  So that she didn't cover up the pretty bow printed on the tag, Fiona moved the title into the open space to the right.

Digital layout by Kirsty Blinston
Kirsty has replaced the six 2x2 photos with patterned papers, and loads of gorgeous flowers around her photo frame.

Photobucket
Good Morning IB'ers! 
Design Team Member Kirsty here today to share with you the latest design sketch we have for you! 
Are you excited it's Friday?! We all sure are! 
Sketch 92
Layout by Amanda Lawrence
I love how Amanda flipped the sketch upside down and swapped out 2 of the photos for patterned paper. 

Layout by Azumi Izuno
Azumi has replaced the doily in the sketch to lace. I love how she layered the elements around the photo of her daughter. 

Layout by Chloe Nelson
Chloe has used different sized photos and added a big banner behind the photos, but otherwise, she's kept to the sketch :-)

Layout by Dana Tatar
Dana loved the sketch just as it was!  She followed it closely and just have one photo that is slightly larger than 4x4.

Layout by Gail L
Gail still used 3 square photos but added them in a photo booth strip instead! She also swapped out the doilies for chipboard frames which she filled each window with patterned paper! How fun does that look! 

 Layout by Linda Zanotto
Linda has stayed pretty close to the sketch design while adding lots of pretty embellishments to her layout. Looks like a great Christmas in their house!  

Layout by Rikki Graziani
Rikki also stayed pretty close to the original just moved some of the photos to make a cluster. Isn't that background paper gorgeous! 

Layout by Tessa Wise
Tessa made the square photo boxes into patterned papers and added a 5x7 photo to the top.  Tessa kept most of the elements though! :) Isnt her photo awesome! Love Tessa's smile!

Photobucket
Hi IB'ers! 
Design Team Member Kirsty here again today with a gorgeous 1 photo sketch that's perfect for those instagram photos you take on your phones! 
I'm sure its going to inspire you to get those photos off your phone, and use them in your layouts! 
Sketch 91 

Layout by Arianna Festi
Arianna stayed pretty true, just slightly changed some minor details. I love the muted colours she's used, its really suited the photo used. 

Layout by Kirsty Blinston 
My layout is different from the sketch in that I used a photo background, my photo is larger, I flipped the sketch and used grass instead of scallops for the top and bottom 

Layout by Rikki Graziani 
Rikki really wanted to make this a fun boy layout so she's gone with bold colours, arrows and a great photo! 

Layout by Cassie Wiscarson
Cassie stayed pretty true to the sketch, but did add a piece of 6x6 patterned paper behind the photo. How beautiful is her puppy dog! 

Layout by Fiona Johnstone
Fiona kept the 3 element design of the sketch, but swapped around the journaling and embellishments and used a larger photo. I just love her little flowers and the window!
