Page Sketch Swap

I just discovered Page Sketches and they have been helping me create some great pages and I want to share the fun! A page sketch is an example of a layout (like the picture above) that can be customized to meet your theme.

For this swap you will send a copy of a page sketch and everything needed to make it (because 12 x 12 paper can be hard to mail, I will make the background paper optional) You can find many free page sketches on the internet if you search, or you can draw your own.

You must include at least 5 elements that coordinate (sender’s choice of color/theme, but it would be nice to look at your partners profile) These numbers of items are approximate, give something nice you would want to receive

Some suggestions are: Title - Border - Journal Box - Matted Poem - Deco squares (4) - Stickers (one sheet or at least 6 loose) - Tags - Fiber (at least a yard) - Ribbon (at least 12 in) - Die cuts( 2) - photo mats (2) - Brads (10) - Buttons (8) - Charms (2) - Chipboard Pieces (2) - Coin Holders - Eyelets (6) - File Folder - Frames - Library Pocket w/Tag or Card - Mini Album/Matchbook - Patterned Paper (2) - Rub-ons - Shaker Box - Slide Mounts (2) - Stamped Image (2)

Now for the "rules" Everyone can participate that has a rating of 4.8 and better and no no-sends (pm me if you have a good reason) Newbies welcome with a full profile. Please sign up only if you intend to send, I don't want anyone dissapointed! I will angel if possible, or find angels

I know how hard it can be to visualize making an inspiration layout into your own because the colors or themes are distracting. You can turn ANY layout into a basic sketch by reducing everything into basic shapes which leaves you more open to be creative. I'm not married and don't have kids and it can be hard to find non "family" layouts for my photos. I have found that sketches give you a fresh layout idea leaving the colors and themes totally open!!!

Don't forget, you can turn sketches sideways or upside-down for a totally new page layout idea!!!

just a suggestion. I plan on mailing 12 x 12 paper, I make my mailers out of poster board (I know 12 x 12 mailers are hard to find for some. Just a suggestion if you wanted to mail that large paper.

Another option for mailers is using old record albums...I have received some this way and its so fun to see it in the mail. Check your thrift stores for old album covers...

okay so my idea using the poster board didn't work well.. just because its WAY too bulky to send.. SO.. I resorted to what I should have used in the beginning.. PIZZA boxes... (FREE and clean).. make great mailers.. I've used these in the past and work out really great !!
