I have discovered a new love that some of you have known and used for a long time. Scrapbook sketches AKA Page maps or Scrap Maps. I especially love the ones when they include the dimensions. I had always known about them and had even used them a few times but had not really embraced them.

I struggled with  the translations from the sketch to reality, trying to picture the finished project in my mind.  I guess it’s a case of the more you use something the more you grow comfortable with it and the more you realize the value of them.

Whatever the reason I am glad it all finally clicked, It clicked so much that I now have a board on pinterest for SKETCHES  and you can bet these won’t be the last Pinterest Inspired Sketch Layouts you will see.

Here’s the Sketches – as you will see from the finished pages below some resemble the sketch pretty close and some were just what I needed to go off in my own direction.

If you are new to My Digital Studio sketches are a great way to learn and explore the features and possibilities.
