LM #747 - Favorite Sketch: Lisa

Hello everyone. I hope you all are having a great Easter weekend and enjoying some scrappy time. We're back with our fourth challenge of the month today.

Our theme this month is favorite sketches picked out by our design team! Feel free to change the sketch up a little to fit your photos (use more or fewer photos, flip the sketch, only use one side, etc.) as long as we can see the original sketch in your layout.

LM#747 - use the following sketch chosen by Lisa to inspire your layout.

Here is what Lisa had to say about the sketch: I like the balance in the design, the fact that it is asymmetrical and the use of 2 vertical photos which could also be replaced by a horizontal photo.

Here are the wonderful creations from the design team, starting with our guest designer.

Introducing our April Guest Designer

Hello everyone! I hope that you are all having a great weekend.

I just wanted to pop in really quickly to introduce our guest designer for April! Please give a warm welcome to the super talented Haven.

Hi. My name is Haven and I love sketches. I get inspiration and a creative boost from using a good sketch, and with my recent scrap time being extremely limited these last few months I find that a good sketch is just what I need to get back into the flow. When I'm not creating, working or coaching I enjoy spending time outdoors. I have some big plans for this spring and summer, so you'll have to make sure you follow me to see all the beautiful nature pictures from my outings. I love playing along with the challenges and getting inspiration from the design team of Lasting Memories. I think their challenges are some of the best but I might be biased as I'm a former DT (2012-2017).

You can find more of Haven's beautiful artwork at her blog - Haven's Haven.

We will be back tomorrow with a new theme and a fun set of new challenges for you to play along with, so be sure to stop back by!
