A one-page "Nope" layout for a "Nope" toddler.
Here is the two-page sketch I used for the starting point of each layout I'm sharing this week.

You can download the full sketch with measurements and placements here.

Supplies used - Cardstock: American Crafts; Patterned paper: Pink Paislee and Simple Stories; Nope SVG: Paige Evans; Vine SVG: Doodlebug Design and Echo Park; Butterfly punch: Martha Stewart; Heart punch: Fiskars; Wooden hearts: Simple Stories; Chipboard heart: Simple Stories; Embroidery floss: DMC; Computer font: Century Gothic
I kind of took a comical approach to this layout. I thought it would be a little humorous to take a negative word and a negative look/mood and create something pretty.
And, a heads up to those that like to create with 6 x 6" paper pads, this layout was made completely (aside from cardstock) with 6 x 6" papers.
Variation #1 - Using a two-page sketch to create a one-page layout.
I always like to show that you can use any size of sketch to create any size of layout. It just takes a few adjustments.
To go from a two-page sketch to a one-page layout, I put most of my focus on the horizontal background strips and shrunk them to fit onto a one-page layout.
Since I was using 6 x 6" papers, the width of the strips are the full 6" and the 1" height stayed the same as they are on the sketch.

Variation #2 - Adding more strips / changing the arrangement of strips.
To create a different look, I overlapped some of the strips and staggered them.
I also added in a few smaller (1/4") strips.
Variation #3 - Changing the elements to fit.
When you are condensing a two-page sketch into a two-page layout, you have to figure out where to put photos, journaling, and title when they might be spread out on both pages of the sketch.

I decided to still use the title under the photo(s), I just enlarged it slightly. Or a lot. It's still in the same positioning in regards to the photo, but it creates a completely different look.

For my journaling, I added it below the title on the opposite side of the photo to create balance on the layout.
Variation #4 - Changing the photo sizes.
I used one 2-1/2 x 3-1/2" photo in place of the two 3-1/2 x 5" photos on the sketch. Because I used such a large title, I reduced the size of my photo to fit.

Tomorrow will be the video version of Sketch Support. I've got a few extra tips and tricks I'm including in it so you won't want to miss it!
Powered by Panerai's automatic P.9010 movement and water-resistant to 300 meters, the PAM01663 has a link power reserve of three days and ticks at a link welcome 4 Hz. The real story here is the newly-developed case material and, while no comment is made as link to Fibratech's scratch resistance (a key concern for any case material), the lighter weight and dark coloring will presumably feel (and look) great on wrist.
In short, it's a very complicated beast of a movement, and its centerpiece complication is the so-called Chrono Chime, which is activated via a button on the case (look for the one marked by a single musical note). link When activated, there are three audible phases that chime the minutes link (a low tone), the seconds link in 10-unit increments (a paired tone), and finally the single-digit resolution of the seconds (with a high tone).
