Designed By: Susan Weinroth

Use this sketch to create a fun and festive St Patrick’s Day layout, complete with a custom 4-leaf clover made out of layered “That’s Amore” squeeze punch pieces…  OR just use the basic sketch to create a page that will adjust to fit any event or theme!

About the PHOTO options:  I love to use large photos on my pages.  The photo on this page measures 11 inches long by 5 inches tall.  I frequently print these nonstandard size prints on my home printer, to work with while I scrapbook.  This sketch can easily be adjusted to use two 4x6 prints placed side-by-side on the page or even two 3.5x5 prints.  Just have fun!
