If you take an engineer’s eye for alignment, precision, order, and symmetry and add healthy doses of patterned paper, scallops, and creative freedom to the mix, what do you get? An organized, easy-to-follow, and FUN approach to layout design. Author Donna Jannuzzi will show you new ways to think about your sketches, presented in such a clear and logical way you’ll wonder why you haven’t been scrapbooking like this for years. You’ll learn solid principles that will help you adapt any sketch to the number of photos you have, to a different size (8½ x 11 or 12 x 12) or orientation (landscape or portrait), or from a single page to a spread. Get ready to look at your sketches in an entirely new light!

This is Donna Jannuzzi’s first book. She admits that she has been obsessed with sketches since she first started scrapbooking in 2006. She studied physics and engineering in college and graduate school, and that way of thinking has influenced her many creative endeavors. When she’s not scrapbooking, she enjoys photography, the culinary arts, and reading.
