My eBook, Stretch Your Sketches
 


If you take an engineer's eye for alignment, precision, order, and symmetry and add healthy doses of patterned paper, scallops, and creative freedom to the mix, what do you get? An organized, easy-to-follow, and FUN approach to layout design.  My eBook will show you new ways to think about your sketches, presented in such a clear and logical way you'll wonder why you haven't been scrapbooking like this for years. You'll learn solid principles that will help you adapt any sketch to the number of photos you have, to a different size (8½ x 11 or 12 x 12) or orientation (landscape or portrait), or from a single page to a spread. Get ready to look at your sketches in an entirely new light!


My sketches can also be found here:  Double-Page Design
 


This eBook is all about getting more photos scrapbooked in less time.  Learn how to fit 170 photos onto 21 stylish, well-designed layouts! On top of that, you'll enjoy 24 extra tips that will help you when designing two-page spreads.
