Build-A-Page December!

**It's Here...our December sketch!**

This month's sketch was created with a fun idea in mind! The design team wanted to swap photos with one another and then create a layout for the designer randomly picked for them. Anam took charge of the whole fun, SECRET sketch swap! The gals do not know who scrapbooked them yet...

This would be a great gift swap idea for a scrapbook group, wouldn't it? Just swap photos and everyone creates a layout based on the same sketch. It's simple. It's a great gift. And it's FUN!

If you want to join us in playing around with this month's BAP just enter your creation in our CONTEST Gallery! (See full details below.)

This sketch is perfect for those special single shots. There is plenty of room for journaling about them on the tight side, if you wish. Anam created a large title area, as well as an embellishment area right beneath the photo.
