Reusing Pagemaps

Don't throw away those sketches! Reuse them. You can reuse the same sketch over and over without your projects looking the same.

Our pagemap this month:

And my first layout:

I decided to use three blocks of the Imaginisce paper across the top instead of photos.

My favorite paper from this collection is the wood pattern. I was dying to use it to make a tree accent. So I freehanded a shape and grabbed a complementary green scrap of paper for the leaves. After trying different options I decided I liked it best layered over my paper blocks.

I added a small photo collage, a couple of strips, title and a bit of journaling.


And here's the second layout I made from the same pagemap. I added a piece of die cut paper over my background. For the three blocks I used two photos and one block of patterned paper. I still have the borders -- one of them is a stick from my yard.


How else could I use the sketch? Use one of the blocks to hold journaling. Turn it sideways and flip it around. Merge one or two of the blocks and use a longer photo. You're only limited by your imagination!
