Get ready to show off your scrapbooking style during Week 5 of Sizzlin’ Summer Sketches! Keep on reading to see this week’s sketch and an example layout featuring the classic Denim Revival collection paired with the discounted Cable Weave Border Maker Cartridge as part of Sizzlin’ Summer Deals!
If this is your first time participating in Sizzlin’ Summer Sketches, you can get ALL the details in this blog post, including how to participate (in our Virtual Crop Facebook Group), what you can win and more.
NOTE: This year’s Sizzlin’ challenges will not be live events.

Week 5 — Summer Style
Denim is classic all year long, but nothing says summer like a good old pair of cut-off denim shorts! The sample layout below features the Denim Revival collection and Cable Weave Border Maker Cartridge, which would be perfect to showcase your summer style! Use this sketch as your starting point to create a timeless layout using the theme and products of your choice!
Tip: In this layout the 2-3/4″ x 4″ photos were tucked into the Denim Revival Pocket Embellishments for a playful touch. If you want to make the pockets interactive, cut a small slit in the Page Protector so you can easily pull the photo or journal tag out!
