Template: Sketch #1

[WendyG]

I was trying to figure out how to do sketches using Scrapbook Max where you add your own background, photos , embellishments etc. And this is what I came up with...All items on this sketch have been pinned so you will have to unpin if you want to move them....when I upload a sketch it will probably contains an embellishment or two that comes with Scrapbook Max (minor ones for design sake) or I will include a custom made embellishment...so here's the first one, please give me feedback if you think this is a good idea to help you make layouts quicker (where the layout has already been done for you )..thanks!

This is great!

I just downloaded the sketch and tried it - it's great! You can add backgrounds, etc. but the layout is essentially done. Thank you so much! Each day I'm mindboggled by the creative and artistic people here!

Another sketch for the 2nd page of the two-page layout would be frosting on the cake!

thanks everyone....I wasn't sure if there was even a need to do "sketches" but I think they will help new users get more comfortable with the program?? And I will cetainly work on sketch 2...LOL

Nice job, Wendy!

Here's another alternative for anyone that may be interested... Try using one of these images as a background to relatively position your objects, such as text and photos... Choose a layout size, then right-click the image and save it to you hard drive, then load it as a background of the same dimensions.

This is a GREAT idea - and you're right....I think it will be so helpful for new users - especially new digiscrappers who are trying to figure EVERYTHING out at the same time! Thank you!

Got A Question regarding these templetes!

I just used one of the templetes "Sketch" but I ran into a problem when I went to resize it. I was able to make #1 work but was unable to move things around or change them, #2 didn't work at all. All of the blocks were locked and I could not rearrange my Journal, ribbon, or pic boxes. Is there a way to unlock it so I can rearrange the items to fit better with the size? I will say it's a nice templete and would be better if I could make changes.

Thanks for the hard work!
