6x6 album, Disneyland
(yeah, I know about the misspelling. )
I had a friend request that I post my 6x6 sketches. when I do this size, it's souly for the purpose of a themed album. All the sketches are designed to work together. I used these five sketches to create our Disneyland album. our family got to spend one day at Disneyland last year. we didn't have a huge amount of photos, but enough for a small themed album. I had a great time doing this one and it only took a few hours to put together.
I have sketches for a second 6x6 album I'll post another time. After I've had time to scan the album, lol!

Diamond Pattern Photos
This one takes a bit of pre planning in a photo editting program. It's a lot of fun to put together though and a great way to use a lot of photos and still have lots of white space.
I used Polar Bear Press paper (Floral Cotton Ink) and Offray and May Arts Ribbons. The flower is just a simple silk from the floral department.

Splitting It Up
You could use this sketch for three photos, but it has the most impact as a single photo cut apart. be careful where you cut the photo that the important stuff doesn't lie on a cut line.
I thought this sketch worked best for a landscape photo. I kept the accents simple to not distract from the photo.
X Factor
an itricate sketch with lots of geometric impact. I created the pinwheels by cutting x's in the paper almost to the corners and folding the edges back. You can use other shapes and get a simmilar feel.
I used Polar Bear Press paper for this one. Double sided paper is a must if you are going to do the pinwheel shapes.
