Sketch #1
Because I scrap 8.5x11 (the sketches are all 12x12), I have to make some adjustments. One was to remove a 4x6 photo from the right side, and to replace a 4x6 on the left side with a smaller photo. The entire time I was working on it, I didn't like how it was turning out, but now that I see it, it's not so bad.
Because I didn't like it, I did it again with another set of photos and I like this one better. I went a completely different direction with the title than what the sketch called for, but I like to use colorful papers, and it was too hard to make the title stand out on top of all the banners.
I'm not entirely sure if the 3x4 card works in place of a square photo, but I kind of like how it makes it look a little less uniform.
Sketch #2
I really struggled with this sketch, mostly because of the difference is page sizes. On the first layout I tried, I cut the patterned paper squares down to 5x5, which meant the photos had to be 2.5x2.5 to line up under the paper, but I didn't want to cut the pictures I had picked out down that small. So then I pulled out another set of photos. I kept moving them around, but quickly realized they would work much better with sketch #4. Finally, I decided to keep the papers 6x6 and the photos 3x3, which meant I needed photos with more open space in them. Originally I cut the photo of Brandon with his boogie board as 3x3 and cut it so that it spanned the pages but when I went to actually glue the photos down I forgot the piece for the right hand side. That oversight ended up working well (and I didn't even notice until I was photographing the pages), since it gave me a little more room for the smaller photos.
