So how do Mood Boards and Sketches help you with scrapbooking?
Mood boards and sketches are two techniques used in scrapbooking to help plan and visualize designs before creating them. A mood board is a collection of images, colors, and textures that inspire a particular theme or mood. Sketches, on the other hand, are rough drawings or outlines of a design that can be used as a guide for creating a scrapbook page. Both techniques can be used to spark creativity and provide direction for your scrapbooking projects.
Tips for incorporating mood boards and sketches into your scrapbooking process.
Mood boards and sketches can be incredibly helpful in the scrapbooking process. Here are some tips for incorporating them into your workflow:
1. Start with a mood board to gather inspiration and ideas for your layout.
2. Use sketches to plan out the placement of your photos, embellishments, and journaling.
3. Modify the sketch to fit your own style and preferences.
4. Experiment with different color schemes and textures to create a cohesive design.
5. Don’t be afraid to make changes as you go – scrapbooking is a creative process, and sometimes the best ideas come from unexpected places.
6. Remember, the sketch may show you a particular pattern or type of paper. You don’t have to duplicate that paper. In fact, more often than not, you are just going to substitute the papers that you own. For the purpose of the sketch, you are just looking at the size and placement of the papers. Do both elements inspire you?
7. You might see a border on the sketch. You do not need to use that border. You can substitute a border that you have or omit altogether.

Different Ways to Use Sketches
- Use them just as they are. Everything is there for you. Your creativity lies in the embellishments and papers that you use. This is the quickest way to get a scrapbook page completed.
- Alter it just a bit. The sketch may have two pictures but you only have one. So you opt for one larger picture. In this case you alter one or two portions of the sketch.
- You rotate the sketch by 90-180 degrees. It gives you a new perspective. Rotating the sketch means that you will have at least 4 new layouts from the same sketch.
- Take an element away or add more. Removing an element creates a new sketch that you have customized for your own use. If you add one new element, start with that and build the other part around that element. You also can add multiples of the same element to create an entirely new look.
- Adapt the size. The sketch may be a 12″ by12″ sketch, but you are working on a smaller size scrapbook page. It is not that difficult to downsize the sketch.
