Master the Art of Using a Sketch to Design a Nested Essentials and Circles Scrapbook Page


Nested Essentials and Circles Scrapbooking

Do you have a craft space with pictures sitting in a box and waiting to be properly displayed in an album? I do. Therefore, the journey has begun to scrapbook! I have missed the joy of using paper, stickers, embellishments, and words to document pictures. It would be wonderful if you joined and scrapbooked with me! 

All scrapbook enthusiast are invited. 

I began this scrapbook journey by designing a one-page "Sketch" to trigger my creativity. This is the perfect opportunity to breathe new life into retired products and let your imagination run wild. Feel free to use the provided sketch as a helpful guide, but don't hesitate to add your personal touch and take creative liberties to make your scrapbook page truly your own. 

Share your stunning designs on the Tranquil Paper Crafters Facebook Group page in the Sketch #041724 comments, where fellow enthusiasts will be eagerly waiting to admire your creations. Let's inspire and be inspired by each other's artistic endeavors; the possibilities are endless, and the excitement is appreciable! 

What a great time to use up retired or stashed products or recently purchased supplies - the choice is yours! A random drawing of shared pages will be held on May 5th for a 5.5" x 4" collection of DSP from the 2024-2025 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

Take care,
Linda Ann
