Two years ago, I accidentally found ScrapStreet
after reading a scrap bio of someone who had
been published in the e-zine. I was curious, so
I went to look, fell in love, and never left!
It’s such a comfortable and fun place, with a
really great community of people. I value the
friendships that I have made here and even have
met some of the girls. I also get a lot of
scrapping support - inspiration, challenges, and
encouragement - especially when MoJo is on
vacation and I need it the most!
Sketches can really do wonders for jump starting
your creativity. It’s one of the fun ways to
challenge yourself to get scrapping. The
following sketch was made by Dora Phillips for
one of the 12 Days of Christmas challenges.
It’s created as a simple sketch to let everyone
use their own vision to create something with
it.
Check our ScrapStreet calendar to see if there
are any fun scrapping games that you can join
in!

Editor's note: What will you use the
square grid for? Pictures, paper squares, or
elements would all work well in this design.

Design
notes:
In order to liven up the squares, I placed
rub-ons on them. I also placed some of the
rub-ons on another piece of cardstock, cut
them out, and then raised them with pop dots
in order to give the layout some depth.

Design
notes:
When suffering from "scrapper's block" I
turn to sketches and templates for help. I
had this series of photos and had an idea of
how I wanted to use them but just couldn't
make it happen. Once I saw this sketch on
Scrapstreet I knew it would be perfect for
these photos. Sketches and templates are a
great way to help me get
layouts done so I don't fall too far behind.

O Holy Night by Jenn Hennegan. Supplies: Ribbon: Amanda
Thorderson (Digitals), Font: St Nicholas.
Journaling: Since I was a little
girl I have always been fascinated by the
ornaments on the Christmas tree at Mom's
church, Holy Cross, in Racine, WI. They are
all handmade by the ladies of the church.
Many of those ladies are no longer with us.
But, each and every Christmas their faith
and love shines through for all to see.

Design
notes:
I wanted to play with the
peek-a-boo aspect of the picture of my son,
so I layered the blocks over the photo for
perfect pieces. Digital cuts are such
a joy to make!
