Historically I’ve done 12 x 12 layouts.  I resisted Project Life for the longest time.  I just loved 12″ layouts so much!  And the full 12″ PL spreads seemed like such an insurmountable task.  When I discovered I could manage PL in a cool concise 6×8 spread, I was hooked.  Now those are pretty much all I do.

I’m a sucker for a good sketch / challenge.  I love that a sketch adds versatility to your layout and that part of the task is completed for you.  It’s pre-balanced and sure to look good.  When I saw that Paper Issues was having a sketch challenge, I jumped on it quickly.  Literally this layout took me less than an hour.  And I love it.  Apparently Paper Issues loved it too because they featured it on their Instagram feed as well as their blog!
