It's easy to take lots of photos during the busy holiday season, and scrapbooking them will be a snap using this easy-to-follow sketch. Whether you want to showcase a few---or a few dozen---photos, this adaptable sketch can be your guide to a beautiful holiday scrapbook this year. 

A Rocking Christmas by Becky Olsen. As seen in the Creating Keepsakes November-December 2010 issue.

Technique Tip: Stitch on Texture

Accent your sketch-based layouts with some sewing texture to provide a little visual interest. That's what Becky Olsen did, sewing a zigzag border between her photos and patterned papers as well as stitching lines for journaling. If you're not a sewer, try using rub-on stitches as an easy alternative.
