I've been stuck trying to figure out how to scrap some of my photos, so I went over to Susan Stringfellow's blog, Sketch Savvy.She's such a great resource, I just wanted to share the link in case she's new to you or in case you had forgotten about her blog. I don't see any newer posts, but her archives go deep enough to make it worth the time if you're looking for some inspiration. Especially with all the scrap challenges ahead of us this month!  What resources do you look to when you're stuck? If your favorite resource is online, link us up! |

When I post the monthly sketch/scraplift challenge, I just do a google search for whatever I'm looking for. It's worked pretty good, so far.
Thanks for sharing the link!

Thanks for reminding me, msliz. I love the Sketch Savvy site. Haven't been there for awhile. A few other places I go--other than KikiPea's monthly challenges: Stuck?! SketchesGrand Diva's Creative CornerPage MapsAll of them have current challenges, and most have examples of how the sketches can be used. Also all have archives with tons of sketches to browse through. |

I actually go to the DesignerDigitals website and browse through the Layer Works designs. I always find many layouts that give me the inspiration I’m looking for.

I'm a big Laura Whitaker fan, so I watch stuck sketches a lot, Pinterest is another go to for me.

Thanks for some great links! I do love sketches. I have a lot of sketch boards too, on Pinterest I am msnickerdoodle I just followed you, you have some great ones! I have a lot of sketches, that is certain. I use a sketch just about everytime I Scrapbook, even though they don’t end up looking the same, it is a great jumping off point for me. I should have warned everyone that sometimes the sketches are for a different number of photos than I categorized them as. I scrap 8.5x11 or 9x12, so sometimes the sketch may call for 3 photos, but since I know I will alter it by using only 2 photos I put it on my 2 photo board. I do do love Pinterest, and I added a bunch of new sketches from the links posted above! |

I'm also a big user of Scrapbook Generation sketches and have a a couple of boards on Pinterest where I track other inspiration. A number of years ago Shimelle also did a "Sketch to Scrapbook Page" series...I'm a huge fan of her work so I have used these sketches quite a bit as well. |

I always start with a sketch, I use SG almost always. They have a free download section on their site for sketches.
There's also the Create magazine links which are a goldmine for inspiration.

Found another treasure trove of sketches tonight. I was checking out the ACOT February challenges, and the Sketch With a Twist one uses a sketch from MascarinaShirley. I clicked on the Sketches tab and found her archived sketches. They look like sketches I could use when in a bind. Enjoy |
