2. Projects to include in our PageMaps column

Scrapbook & Cards Today’s sketches are always inspiring and this one is no exception.  Download the sketch here, use it to create a scrapbook page and then submit it to us for possible publication. We encourage you to be creative with this sketch. Play with embellishments, mix up patterned papers, flip it, or copy the design exactly — it’s simply a blueprint to get your ideas flowing! This is for our autumn issue, so we ask that you keep seasonality in mind (as outlined in the themes above) when creating.
