Make scrapbooking your memories easier with these free sketches and how to example and tips. 

It's spring—the perfect time to scrapbook about family and friends and the fond memories you have of them. Try our March/April 2012 scrapbooking sketch when creating your next layout about the loved ones in your life.

The Golden Years by Suzy Plantamura, as seen in the March/April 2012 issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine.

Sketch Tip: It's okay to switch up a small part of the sketch to enhance or reinforce your layout,  In place of the journaling spot, try replacing the journlaing spot with memorabilia from a special day or use it to house smaller photos.

Scraplifting Tip: Suzy painted her white corrugated letters red, so they better match the feel and colors of her layout. Use products like spray ink, ink, or markers to alter letters to match perfectly with your layout theme.
